I really enjoyed this book. It is filled w/ history, murder and love. It is set in Los Angeles and covers the period from pre-WWII to 1994 after the Northridge earthquake. Jackie Isida explores a mystery which she uncovers when her beloved grandfather dies. In the process we learn a lot about the history of race relations in mid 2oth century Los Angeles.
