Circle in the Water -- Marcia Muller

<p><b>In this twisting mystery in a <i>New York Times</i> bestselling series, pranks escalate into a deadly scheme that Private Investigator Sharon McCone must unravel--&#8203;before they claim her life.</b> <p/> San Francisco is home to more than 200 privately owned streets. Most are alleyways, but a select few look torn straight from the pages of a magazine. Lined with mansions and elaborate gardens, the properties are luxurious and perfectly maintained; security guards patrol the grounds to keep the curious at bay. Few know of these exclusive enclaves, but those who do prowl for availability, ready to make a grab for the precious real estate if opportunity strikes. <p/> When several such streets are targeted in a series of so-called pranks, Sharon is hired by a coalition of concerned owners to investigate. But as things escalate--an attempt on Sharon's life, an explosion at a meth lab, and a shocking murder--Sharon realizes far more is at play than a few misdemeanors gone wrong. <p/> The case takes a sudden turn when one of McCone & Ripinsky's most trusted employees is implicated, and Sharon will have to dig deep to save her agency--and her life. </p><br><br><b>Author:</b> Marcia Muller<br><b>Publisher:</b> Grand Central Publishing<br><b>Published:</b> 04/23/2024<br><b>Pages:</b> 224<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Hardcover<br><b>Weight:</b> 0.89lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 9.11h x 6.24w x 0.85d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9781538724521<br><br><b>Review Citation(s): </b><br><i>Kirkus Reviews</i> 03/
