This author never ceases to impresses with the depth and width of her research. The story is based on a real life unsolved murder in the infancy of San Francisco. The characters are real. She even gives a synopsis of the songs that were contemporary at the time, and their particular history as well. Bravo! Great historical crime novel, with an indepth look at race, poverty, society and the laws by which people lived.
