Isabel Allende--the New York Times bestselling author whose books, including Maya's Notebook, Island Beneath the Sea, and Zorro, have sold more than 57 million copies around the world--demonstrates her remarkable literary versatility with Ripper, an atmospheric, fast-paced mystery involving a brilliant teenage sleuth who must unmask a serial killer in San Francisco.
The Jackson women, Indiana and Amanda, have always had each other. Yet, while their bond is strong, mother and daughter are as different as night and day. Indiana, a beautiful holistic healer, is a free-spirited bohemian. Long divorced from Amanda's father, she's reluctant to settle down with either of the men who want her--Alan, the wealthy scion of one of San Francisco's elite families, and Ryan, an enigmatic, scarred former Navy SEAL.
While her mom looks for the good in people, Amanda is fascinated by the dark side of human nature, like her father, the SFPD's Deputy Chief of Homicide. Brilliant and introverted, the MIT-bound high school senior is a natural-born sleuth addicted to crime novels and Ripper, the online mystery game she plays with her beloved grandfather and friends around the world.
When a string of strange murders occurs across the city, Amanda plunges into her own investigation, discovering, before the police do, that the deaths may be connected. But the case becomes all too personal when Indiana suddenly vanishes. Could her mother's disappearance be linked to the serial killer? Now, with her mother's life on the line, the young detective must solve the most complex mystery she's ever faced before it's too late.

Book Description Hardcover. 478p., signed by the Chilean American writer neatly across the titlepage. First American edition first printing, hardbound in black papered boards titled silverfoil and enclosed in the dust jacket. A very good copy, fine really, allowing for a distributor's "Autographed" label to jacket and just the faintest hint of dust jacket edgewear: perfectly sound, clean and unmarked (except for Allende's autograph). Murder mystery with all the bells and whistles and faults of high literature. Not the easiest read, commencing with the discovery of the corpse (by children!) in a particularly nasty murder. Homophobia appears to be at work here, we went no further. Seller Inventory # 310119
