The manipulator lurks behind the spiritualist and outspoken pacifist known only as Miss Fontaine, new favorite of the wealthy elite on Nob Hill. While Delia can’t criticize the message, she’s shies from the fervor of Miss Fontaine’s disciples. Her friend Gabe (third-person viewpoint character in alternating chapters with her first-person accounts) gets hints that something’s wrong when people start disappearing. Workers hired to help set up the pacifist’s public appearances never take their final paychecks, and a few turn up as corpses in the Bay. If a fiendish murderer is at work, his latest victim may be an innocent debutante.

As in Leigh’s book, the most powerful killer – and the most haunting presence – here is the human appetite for violence, the forces that erupt in war.

–Faren Miller
