In the five years since they opened Carpenter and Quinncannon, Professional Detective Services, they have solved dozens, but one mystery has eluded even them: Sherlock Holmes or, rather, the madman claiming his identity, who keeps showing up with a frustrating (though admittedly useful) knack for solving difficult cases. Roland W. Fairchild, recently arrived from Chicago, claims Holmes is his first cousin, Charles P. Fairchild the Third. Now, with his father dead, Charles stands to inherit an estate of over three million dollars--if Sabina can find him, and if he can be proved sane. Sabina is uncertain of Roland's motives (he will inherit if Charles can't), but agrees to take the case. John, meanwhile, has been hired by the owner of the Golden State brewery to investigate the "accidental" death of the head brew-master, who fell into a vat of his own beer, and drowned. When a second murder occurs, and the murderer escapes from under his nose, John finds himself on the trail not just of the criminals, but of his reputation for catching them. But while John is certain he can catch his quarry, Sabina is less certain she wants to catch hers. Holmes has been frustrating, but useful, even kind. She is quite certain he is mad, and quite uncertain what will happen when he is confronted with the truth. Does every mystery need to be solved? 541 $d 20160222. 650 0 $a Murder $x Investigation $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Women detectives $z San Francisco $z San Francisco $v Fiction. 650 7 $a Murder $x Investigation. 650 0 $a Large type books. 650 0 $a Private investigators $z San Francisco $z San Francisco $v Fiction. 651 1 $a San Francisco (Calif) $x History $y 19th century $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 gsafd 655 7 $a Detective and mystery fiction. 655 7 $a Mystery fiction. 700 $a Pronzini, Bill, $e author. 830 $a Thorndike Press large print mystery series. 941 $a 6 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20181006093402.0 952 $l DAPG173 $d 20170815011628.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20170418113109.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20160330010106.0 952 $l YTPG232 $d 20160323015521.0 952 $l WSPF215 $d 20160308013502.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=C80AC1EEE4FB11E5BA0AF0D5DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
