The banker's real problem is something he doesn't want to reveal. That was fine with the detective, and when he was informed that some private letters were involved and Wrixton absolutely needed them back, there was nothing more Quincannon needed in the way of background. As with so many of San Francisco's elite, the bedroom doors never seemed to stay shut.That was the easy part; far more difficult was the matter of the dead courier, murdered most foully in a locked room within a locked room, creating a trail that will take John Quincannon through most of San Francisco's less savory places and end with a riverboat trip that is anything but a relaxing cruise. 541 $d 20170228. 650 7 $a Large type books. 650 0 $a Women detectives $z San Francisco $z San Francisco $v Fiction. 650 7 $a Detective and mystery stories. 650 7 $a Private investigators. 650 7 $a Women detectives. 650 0 $a Private investigators $z San Francisco $z San Francisco $v Fiction. 700 $a Pronzini, Bill, $e author. 830 $a Carpenter and Quincannon mystery. 830 $a Thorndike Press large print mystery series. 941 $a 13 952 $l KAPF566 $d 20230331012959.0 952 $l GEPG771 $d 20210722054144.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20181006103801.0 952 $l MXPG943 $d 20180720045659.0 952 $l KLPC566 $d 20180407011132.0 952 $l VXPE964 $d 20180116082018.0 952 $l KWPE446 $d 20170627011945.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20170518010457.0 952 $l AJPE887 $d 20170426010052.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20170418122523.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20170412022547.0 952 $l YTPG232 $d 20170412022306.0 952 $l WSPF215 $d 20170328011803.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=1A6D122A137C11E78F49B582DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
