A San Francisco police detective becomes obsessed with a sculptressâs apparent suicideâand hounds his new wife into helping him solve the case . . .  When Officer Charles confronts a man acting erratically early in the morning on a quiet residential street in San Francisco, he presumes itâs a case of public intoxicationâuntil the man blurts out that Mabel Edwards has hanged herself. The sculptress, whoâd been working on a menacing-looking Druid statue, is indeed dead. And when the shaken officer briefly leaves the scene, his only witness disappears.  When Det. Lt. Stephen Mayhew, on his honeymoon in San Francisco, hears about the death from his old pal Charles, heâs not convinced it was suicideâespecially after he hears the nasty comments made by Mabelâs elderly neighbors. To his new brideâs dismay, heâs soon obsessed with his hunch, peppering everyone with questions and asking poor Sara to help him re-create the crime scene. How can she say no? Thatâs what she gets for marrying a policeman . . .  Previously published under the name D.B. Olsen |
