After gaining fanfare by cracking a sensational murder case, Harry Bittercress, a former army MP, sees his private eye career take off. "Good cases are finally coming my way!" he exclaimed. Harry is ably assisted by Cardamine, his Oxford-educated wife whose odd mixture of British-Jamaican ancestry and vocation in mystic reading and advising make her an ideal, if unorthodox, partner - whether Harry's pride can handle it or not.Such masculine insecurity is perhaps excusable given the year: 1953. Back then, a wife was typically an aproned homemaker. But Harry's wife? She does all that but so much more, poring over literature, philosophy, mathematics, and social and physical science journals. "My better half is as cute as a button and as sharp as a tack¿ a real dime piece!" you may overhear Harry enthuse at Papa Max's, the watering hole below his third-floor walk-up office in downtown Charlottesville, Virginia. "It's umm, adequate," Cardamine spoke kindly of his modest workspace.Harry'll need her assistance (and that of others) when a new, oddball case comes in over the transom: solving a murder that hasn't happened yet! His client calmly states, "Someone's going to kill me. Afterwards, I want you to catch him."

The third book in an amazing series that features crime à la library at America's most famous institution of higher reading. A note from bartender Brian McNulty, Raymond Ambler’s friend, confidant, and sometimes adviser, sets the librarian sleuth off on a murder investigation, one that he pursues reluctantly until a second murder upends the world as he knows it. The second victim is a lady friend of McNulty’s—and the prime suspect is McNulty himself. As Ambler pursues his investigation, he discovers that the murdered woman had a double life. Her intermittent visits to the city—a whirlwind of reckless drinking and illicit liaisons with men she met in the cocktail lounges—had their counterpart in suburban Fairfield County Connecticut where, as Dr. Sandra Dean, she practiced dermatology and lived in a gated community with a doting husband and a young daughter. While Ambler looks into the past of Dr. Sandra Dean to understand the murder of Shannon Darling in the present, NYPD homicide detective Mike Cosgrove investigates the men in Shannon Darling’s life. She might have been murdered because she frustrated the wrong man. It could have been a jealous wife. In fact, any number of people might have murdered Shannon Darling. Or, as Ambler suspects, did someone murder Dr. Sandra Dean? Yet, no matter which way he turns, McNulty emerges as a suspect. Ambler’s dilemma seems insurmountable: Should he keep searching for the truth behind the murders if the deeper he probes, the more evidence he finds that points to the morally rumpled bartender as a murderer?

As long as feelings are second-class citizens, people will be second class citizens. Experience is an endangered species. An important function of psychotherapy is to make time for experiencing. Psychic taste buds really exist and rarely rest. They feed us each other, gauge states of being, states of spirit. We taste each other's feelings and intentions. An important aim of this book is to build psychic taste buds, not put them down or pretend they don't exist. A positive feeling runs through this book, a love of life, an affirmation. Yet we discover many feel they do not have an impact. A sense of helplessness and impotence in face of awesome forces seems to be increasing. Health is a broad term with many dark threads. A creeping annihilating sense varies from pockets we try not to notice to soul murder that must be addressed. Yet individuals do try, in their private struggles and in the larger social sphere.

Olive Clebo, wife of Dan Clebo chief investigator for the Piedmont, NC Police Department was brutally murdered by three released murderers that Dan had previously arrested. This vindictive retaliation was meant to send a warning to other police officers throughout the country. Dan pledged to avenge Olive's murder. He resigned from the police department, located and executed two of the three men. He left no clues that could legally be used against him. He did this to force a change in the law that would prevent anyone, including himself, from getting away with murder. While awaiting this legal change, Dan fell in love and remarried. He wanted to stay with his new wife, but if the law was adopted, he would be put in jail for the rest of his life. Now it was decision time. Which would it be?
