by Sara Gran
When her ex-boyfriend is murdered, Claire DeWitt goes on the case. But what does it have to do with the other case she's working on, The Case of the Missing Horses, or one from her past, The Case of the End of the World? And is there enough cocaine in the San Francisco area for Claire to find her ex...

Paul’s rich sister thinks his wife is guilty and wants to hire Claire to prove it, but Claire won’t take...
Really didn't live up to the City of the Dead.
