From Charleston to Hilton Head, Family matters . . . and murder is
relative.
When a fifth cousin twice removed calls Bay Tanner--a young,
recently widowed financial consultant--from the Beaufort County
Jail, it's no accident. Mercer Mary Prescott spent a lot of time
and trouble locating Bay on the family tree, and she needs more
than bail out of the relationship. What she's really after is a
secret Bay's not willing to reveal--yet. But when Bay generously
takes Mercer back to the family mansion of Presqu'isle, she finds
that this distant kin comes with a lot of personal baggage--and
some very dangerous pursuers. Before Bay can help straighten out
Mercer's problems, the mousy young woman disappears. Bay begins a
desperate hunt for her "shirttail" cousin through the twisted
alleys of the past, from Civil War days to a plantation called
Perdition House, and to one last deadly fight.
. . . . . .
"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."
--"Library Journal" on The Mercy Oak
Third book in the Bay Tanner mystery series.
