A Place of Fog and Murder (Paperback or Softback)

Lady Gumshoe – Flatfoot in Heels

"Ever stay up way too late reading a book, telling yourself, 'Just one more chapter, and I'll turn out the light?'
Well, that was me two nights running, because this book is just that good." ~ Sharon E. Cathcart, Author, Eye of the Beholder.

A Place of Fog and Murder -- Second Edition

Lady detective Lou Tanner needs to cement her reputation to survive in a man's job, but the gorgeous client offering her a new case has brought her more than his tales of woe. Ruthless gangsters, suspicious cops, and a desperate blackmailer all manage to gum up the works at every turn. Gun in hand and wits at the ready, Lou is in a fight for her life.

Noir meets Dieselpunk in this twisting tale of 1935 San Francisco. From the corrupt power of its fashionable ultra-rich to the merciless reach of its dirty underworld, deadly secrets hide behind the thin veneer of propriety and a thick wall of fog.

From the charmingly deranged mind of T.E. MacArthur, author of the paranormal thriller The Skin Thief, comes a bold, new take on the hard-boiled detective, femme fatale, and art deco science fiction. A Place of Fog and Murder is MacArthur's salute to Raymond Chandler, Dashiell Hammett, and the effervescent Myrna Loy.

T.E. MacArthur is an award-winning author, artist, historian, amateur cat whisperer, and parapsychologist wannabe living in the San Francisco Bay Area with her cat and far too many books.

She has written for several specialized publications, anthologies, and was even an accidental sports reporter for Reuters News.

Her storytelling dramatically shifted direction to Retro-Futurism and Mysteries, as well as the Supernatural - one of many lifelong obsessions.  Her published works are now found in the Steampunk, Dieselpunk, Historical, and Paranormal subgenres of Mystery and Thrillers.

If you want to talk ghosts, Raymond Chandler slang, steam locomotives, and Elizabethan insults?  She's your girl.
