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 April 1906, an earthquake of horrendous magnitude shook one of America’s most vibrant and vivacious cities. Buildings crumbled to the ground. Fires destroyed everything from the dilapidated buildings of South of Market to the mansions of Nob Hill. Nearly eighty percent of the city is leveled.
Elsie Blessings, rabid suffragist and reformer, calls her friend Adele Gossling to her side to help destitute women and children in the Presidio’s refugee camp while San Francisco begins the slow process of rebuilding. Adele’s brother, Jackson, and Sheriff Hatfield accompany her at the request of army and police friends who desperately need volunteers to help maintain law and order amidst the chaos of the ruined city.
The one thing nobody counted on was that, while citizens come together to pick up the pieces of their city among the rubble, someone thinks it’s just the right time for murder.
Can Adele and her aura-reading friend Nin Branch help solve the crime of a dead woman with only a jade pendant, a fan, and a cryptic note to go on?
