Murder Among the Rubble
(2024)(The seventh book in the Adele Gossling Mystery series)
A novel by Tam May
San Francisco is in ruins — but can the worst disaster the city has ever known cover up a murder?
On a quiet morning in 1906, an earthquake of horrendous magnitude shakes one of California’s most vibrant cities.
Buildings crumble to the ground. Fires destroy everything from South of the Slot’s dilapidated buildings to Nob Ill’s most ornate mansions, leveling nearly eighty percent of San Francisco.
Radical suffragist and progressive reformer Elsie Blessings calls her friends Adele Gossling and Nin Branch to her side at the Presidio’s refugee camp to help destitute women and children as San Francisco begins the slow process of rebuilding. Adele’s brother, Jackson, and Sheriff Hatfield accompany them as volunteers to help maintain law and order amidst the chaos of the ruined city.
While citizens come together to pick up the pieces of their homes and lives among the rubble, somebody thinks it’s just the right time for murder.
Can Adele and Nin help solve the crime of a dead woman with only a jade pendant, a fan, and a cryptic note to go by?
