Murder, spies, call girls, strange hooded figures, Chinese dignitaries, you’ll find them all at the swanky Claremont hotel. Detective Al Sullivan is investigating the murder of an industrialist/presidential candidate and most of his monied suspects have the surname Bainbridge. Whilst Al works the case Chua shines a light on depression era issues that the Bay Area doesn’t really like to remember - let alone talk about.
Not only is this a great whodunnit, it’s wrapped in several history lessons that will give bookclubs plenty to discuss.
