Third book in a series with paranormal investigator Lucretia "Cree" Black (after 2004's Land of Echoes) and an old family friend, SFPD homicide detective Bert Marchetti. Together they work with an unusual skeletal find-an apparent victim of the 1906 earthquake whose strange physiognomy leads him to have the nickname, the Wolfman.
Very nice hard cover copy like new.
The third Cree Black novel is a mystery without a murder and a ghost story without ghosts. But the paranormal investigator still delivers a satisfying adventure as she explores what happened to an abnormal creature that died in the basement of a Victorian-era home during the 1906 San Francisco earthquake. The Wolfman, as he is called by forensics researchers compelled to examine his distended bones, reunites Cree with SFPD homicide detective Bert Marchetti, a childhood family friend who is about to retire with too many skeletons in his own closet. With the help of a scarred radiologist who hates Bert and might have sociopathic tendencies, Cree immerses herself in the city's checkered past. But while her investigation slowly catches fire, the book's most compelling tale by far is told by Lydia Schweitzer, the woman who lived in the house at the end of the nineteenth century and kept a diary of her encounters with the strange and tragic creature.
