Item description from seller

Signed by author on half-title page. Stated first edition w/ complete number line. A fine copy. Interior is tight, clean, and unmarked. // 'In this sequel to her Edgar-winning first novel, A Grave Talent, Laurie R. King shows once more that she is one of the most extraordinary writers to come along in a long time. She brings together San Francisco's homeless people, a woman police officer, and a Holy Fool into a warm and rewarding whole. The fool in question here is known as Brother Erasmus, and he comes into Kate Martinelli's life when a homeless man is murdered. Erasmus is an enigma who speaks only in quotations, a practice that makes questioning him more of a frustrating game than a police interview. Yet all signs point to the strong probability that this man of obvious learning, much wit, and boundless compassion is a killer. Kate Martinelli is determined to find out who Brother Erasmus is - or was - and what secrets his past life holds. The search on which she and her middle-aged partner, streetwise and peoplewise Al Hawkin, embark will take them into amazing places and lead to an unsuspected and heartwrenching climax.' -- publisher.…
