But Virginia St. Ives evidently did, leaping from a foggy parapet in a shimmer of ghostly light. The seemingly impossible disappearance of her body creates an even more serious problem for the firm of Carpenter and Quincannon, Professional Detective Services. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSabina hadn't wanted to take the assignment, but her partner John Quincannon insisted it would serve as entr e to the city's ultra rich and powerful. That means money, and Quincannon loves the almighty dollar. Which is why he is hunting the bandit who robbed the Wells, Fargo office of $35,000. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWorking their separate cases (while Sabina holds John off with one light hand), the detectives give readers a tour of The City the way it was. From the infamous Barbary Coast to the expensive Tenderloin gaming houses and brothels frequented by wealthy men, Quincannon follows a danger-laden trail to unmask the murderous perpetrators of the Wells, Fargo robbery. Meanwhile, Sabina works her wiles on friends and relatives of the vanished debutante until the pieces of her puzzle start falling into place. But it's an oddly disguised gent appearing out of nowhere who provides the final clue to both cases--the shrewd crackbrain who believes himself to be Sherlock Holmes. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFans of Marcia's Muller's bestselling Sharon McCone novels and Bill Pronzini's Nameless Detective series will applaud \u003ci\u003eThe Spook Lights Affair \u003c\/i\u003eand future exploits from the annals of Carpenter and Quincannon, Professional Detective Services. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Carpenter and Quincannon Mysteries: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e#1 \u003ci\u003eThe Bughouse Affair\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e#2 \u003ci\u003eThe Spook Lights Affair\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e#3 \u003ci\u003eThe Body Snatchers Affair\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e#4 \u003ci\u003eThe Plague of Thieves Affair\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e#5\u003ci\u003e The Dangerous Ladies Affair\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e#6 \u003ci\u003eThe Bags of Tricks Affair\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMARCIA MULLER\u003c\/b\u003e is the \u003ci\u003eNew York Times \u003c\/i\u003ebestselling creator of private investigator Sharon McCone.
