From the Back Cover
Indiana and Amanda Jackson have always had each other. Though their bond is strong, mother and daughter are as different as night and day. Indiana, a beautiful holistic healer, is a free-spirited bohemian. Teenage Amanda is fascinated by the dark side of human nature—as is her father, the SFPD's deputy chief of homicide. Brilliant and introverted, Amanda is a natural-born sleuth addicted to Ripper, the online mystery game she plays with her beloved grandfather and friends around the world.
When a string of strange murders occurs across the city, Amanda plunges into her own investigation, probing hints and deductions that elude the police department. But the case becomes all too personal when Indiana suddenly vanishes. Could her mother's disappearance have something to do with the series of deaths? Now, with her mother's life on the line, the young detective must solve the most complex mystery she's ever faced before it's too late.

Hardcover. 478p., signed by the Chilean American writer neatly across the titlepage. First American edition first printing, hardbound in black papered boards titled silverfoil and enclosed in the dust jacket. A very good copy, fine really, allowing for a distributor's "Autographed" label to jacket and just the faintest hint of dust jacket edgewear: perfectly sound, clean and unmarked (except for Allende's autograph). Murder mystery with all the bells and whistles and faults of high literature. Not the easiest read, commencing with the discovery of the corpse (by children!) in a particularly nasty murder. Homophobia appears to be at work here, we went no further. Seller Inventory # 310119
