#4 in the Bay Tanner Mystery Series
"From the depths of a forgotten grave rise the echoes of a
deadly conspiracy . . ."
When widowed financial consultant and sometime detective Bay
Tanner flees Paris and the collapse of her short-lived affair with
Interpol agent Alain Darnay, she finds herself drawn into yet
another of the dark mysteries that seem to swirl around her
father's antebellum mansion in Beaufort, South Carolina. No sooner
has she unloaded her bags than she senses trouble between retired
Judge Talbot Simpson and his longtime housekeeper/companion,
Lavinia Smalls. What--or who--has driven a wedge between these two
people who have been the bedrock of Bay's existence since her
childhood? And why won't either of them talk about it? Then a phone
call from her partner-in-crime-solving, Erik Whiteside, sets in
motion a chain of events that will ultimately expose the dark
underbelly of the aristocratic local society in which she grew
up.
Erik's old college drinking buddy, archaeologist Gray Palmer,
has uncovered a grave on an obscure island just off the South
Carolina coast and hints the bones may be those of a murder victim.
But before Bay and Erik can learn the details, Palmer turns up dead
himself and in a particularly gruesome way. Spurred on by Gray's
exotic girlfriend and his estranged father's offer of a sizeable
reward, they methodically peel back the layers of deceit and
cover-up carefully constructed over decades by those who have
everything to lose if the grave injustices of "Judas Island" are
ever brought to light.
. . . . . . . . . .
"Sue Grafton, Sara Paretsky, and Marcia Muller come to mind as
the quintessential writers of the modern female private eye novel.
Wall, in a quiet and unassuming way, has produced a body of work of
equal quality. Highly recommended."
