The Yellow Violet

Frances Crane

In this mystery filled with "lively and exciting doings," a PI in 1940s San Francisco tries to determine whether a beautiful woman is being framed ( The New York Times). Corpses have been turning up with yellow violets accompanying them, and the clue seems to point to a Spanish performer who is in town with her dachshund, Pancho. But private detective Pat Abbott suspects the plants were a plant—and now he's juggling the murders with a missing person case that may involve a fascist conspiracy, even if means postponing his wedding, in this compelling crime novel in the acclaimed long-running series. Praise for the Pat and Jean Abbott Mysteries "Amusing and sophisticated." — The Star (London) "[A] well-plotted and mystifying case." — Saturday Review
