Casa Madrone. Random House, 1980.

| setting: San Francisco (1906) | Hubin | find it |

Summary: In April 1906, the Bookever family of New York has fallen on hard times. After the death of her uncle, Mallory Bookever and her Aunt Flo Bel have had to sell off the jewelry, art collections, and even the silverware. But things have started to turn around. Mallory is engaged to Richard Welbeck, young, handsome, and heir to the San Francisco Welbeck fortune. Then news arrives that Richard has broken his leg and is too ill to return to New York for the wedding. He asks that Mallory travel to San Francisco for the wedding in the company of his best friend, Scott Suydam. On the journey, strange things happen: someone attempts to pull Mallory off the train; a bottle of Flo Bel’s prescription chloral hydrate goes missing … and Mallory begins to have strong feelings for Scott. When they arrive in San Francisco, they find Richard to be an invalid in his Nob Hill mansion, and believe that his cousin Dolores is purposely keeping him that way. Then the earthquake strikes. In the aftermath, Richard is shot and killed. At first they believe him to have been struck by a stray bullet fired by a patrolling soldier. However, Mallory and Scott soon suspect that Richard has been murdered in order to prevent his marriage; when another attempt is made on Mallory’s life, they are convinced. As the fire approaches, everyone relocates to Scott’s home, Casa Madrone, where they struggle to put their lives back together and unmask a killer before he—or she—strikes again. Mignon Good Eberhart (1899-1996) wrote over 60 novels in her long career (which culminated in a Grand Master Award from the Mystery Writers of America in 1971); this is the only one with a San Francisco setting.

The Alcatraz Rose. Larkspur Press, 2014.

| setting: San Francisco (Alcatraz Island) | series character: Lawrence Kingston | find it |

Summary: No sooner than a thirteen-year-old child begs Lawrence Kingston to reinvestigate her mother's disappearance--a case still unsolved for eight years--the redoubtable botanist, professor, and sleuth receives news that an English rose, extinct for half a century, has been discovered growing on Alcatraz Island, 5,000 miles from its former home. As Kingston searches for clues to both mysteries he uncovers the murder of an elderly reclusive gentleman whom he suspects of having firsthand knowledge of the rose. Hampered by a fog of duplicity and lies, his investigation nevertheless leads him to a shocking discovery, the last thing he would ever suspect: a link to one of Britain's most notorious crimes from the distant past. The Alcatraz Rose is a multi-layered adventure that starts with an innocent cry for help, but turns into a treacherous roller coaster ride that ends with lives hanging in the balance--including Lawrence Kingston's.
