The Bohemian
Murders
ABOUT
THIS BOOK
Forced to leave San Francisco
after the devastating earthquake of 1906, Fremont (née Caroline) Jones
follows her heart to the bohemian beach community of Carmel-by-the-Sea. She
is eager to be reunited with her elusive suitor, retired spymaster Michael
Archer, but finds him mysteriously metamorphosed into Misha--otherwise
occupied and decidedly unavailable for sleuthing. But the
irrepressible Fremont Jones has her pride, and determined to restart
her typewriting business part-time, she signs on as temporary keeper
of the Point Pinos Lighthouse.
She has barely settled in to her watch when a velvet-clad corpse washes
in on the tide--and Fremont is off on a new and ultimately life-threatening
quest. Starting
with the free-spirited artists of Carmel, she searches for clues to the identity
of the dead woman and uncovers a community filled with intrigue, violence, and
plenty of motives for murder. When Fremont is attacked and robbed,
her lighthouse torched, and the artist helping her turns up missing, she realizes
she is perilously close to the truth. And that the next body to drift
in on the tide might well be her own..
