Drug lords, missing millionaires, corrupt cops ⦠just another day for Carpenter and Quincannon Detective Services. Two missing bodies and two separate investigations take Carpenter and Quincannon from the heights above San Francisco Bay to the depths of Chinatowns opium dens. For John Quincannon, this is a first: searching a Chinatown opium den for his clients husband, missing in the middle of a brewing tong war set to ignite over the stolen corpse of Bing Ah Kee. Meanwhile, his partner, Sabina Carpenter, unsure of the dark secrets her suitor might be concealing, searches for the corpse of a millionaire, stolen from a sealed family crypt and currently being held for ransom. With the threat of a tong war hanging over the cityâa war perhaps being spurred on by corrupt officialsâCarpenter and Quincannon have no time to lose in solving their cases. Is there a connection between the two body snatchers? Or is simple greed the answer to this one?And why is the enigmatic Englishman who calls himself Sherlock Holmes watching so carefully from the shadows?
The Body Snatchers is another delightful and charming book in the series! It has murder, intrigue and romance in the form of Sabina’s and John’s blossoming personal relationship.Bill Pronzini and Marcia Muller capture the colloquial speech style of the late 19th century United States in San Francisco as well as the way people lived at that time! I highly recommend this book and can’t wait to read the next installment!Read the whole book—it will be well worth the time!
