review 2: Two stories in one--parallel and virtually no overlap; I didn't find the structure particularly appealing. The settings made the book for me--San Francisco, north coast, Vacaville--and Sacramento. Nameless' case is a closed room library drama set in SF, while a colleague solves the more psychotic case, which involves poking through old memories and more. Pronzini and his wife, Marcia Muller, are being highlighted in by the Sacramento Bee Book Club this month, so I'm glad to have read his title. Hers is on hold and will probably be more to my liking. less
