I love this series. Wish there were more.

The BEST!

I read the entire series, but loved this book the best. I loved Lintott's experiences in learning the city, especially the trolley and the barbershop. The earthquake was done exquisitely. One of the best books I have read in a long while. It's final conclusion was most satisfying.

Me gustó mucho el pequeño romance que hay, como lintott se mueve por san francisco, investigando y planeando. También amo el personaje de Salvador. No me gustó mucho el desenlace, tanta búsqueda para que Alicia termine así y su hermano no se mostró en ningún momento triste

1906. Four people seem to have a connection to each other including a magician and his assistant, his sister. Retired inspector Lintott has to travel to San Francisco to find the answer. But will he succeed and what will the result be.
An enjoyable historical mystery
