Synopsis

She lives above an Art Deco theater in San Francisco’s Sunset district with an old long-haired cat, a harpsichord and more yarn than a loading dock. The FBI and city police call her the Yarn Woman. She’s their textile forensics expert.In her first recorded case, ‘Ghosts of the Albert Townsend,’ Ruth has only a blood-soaked nineteenth century shawl to unravel the link between the resurfacing of a ghostly schooner just offshore and the severe wounds on young Hauper Brown’s body. A nearby fatal animal mauling only adds to her worry. In her second case in this first Yarn Woman mysteries book, ‘The Fisherman’s Wife,’ Ruth must decipher the meaning behind a dead man’s hand-knit sweater while racing against time to save his otherworldly widow. Finally, Ruth helps identify the body of a playwright by the handwork in his shirt, and finds not only a young friend in Gabriel, a curly-haired boy with unusual abilities, she unearths a network of beggar-masters and their slaves deep in San Francisco’s seamy underside.This first book, a trilogy of dramatic novellas, introduces a cast of characters who will recur as the Yarn Woman mystery series continues in ‘Wailing Wood’ and ‘The Rusalka Wheel,’ with more cases on the horizon.
