Story
Complacency can make a person careless, and Sharon McCone, who makes crime her business, should know that better than most. One minute she's riding high with her detective agency expanding, her bank account growing, and her only "problem" a marriage proposal from her lover, Hy Ripinsky, that's kicking up her longtime fears of commitment. The next minute, in the time it takes for a single phone call to bring bad news, she stands to lose everything.

Secrets Revealed
In the aftermath of her father's funeral Sharon McCone is in her father's house; the home she grew up in. While sorting through the detritus of his life she finds adoption papers with her birth date; suddenly everything she thought she knew has changed. When confronted; her adoptive mother acts as if she's making a big deal out of nothing. Talking with other relatives provides little elucidation. So McCone decides to do what she does best; investigate. From one of the biggest ranches in California to a ghost town to the Shoshone Reservation McCone chases her origins. The McCone series doer a better job than most of the genre in avoiding the overblown, comic book, video game, graphic novel prototypes of larger than life detectives performing acts that human beings have never come close to accomplishing. McCone doesn't engage in firefights a couple of times per book and the emphasis on detection rather than gun play and she is often cranky and difficult to work for. In the case of this particular book I find that it isn't wearing all that well with me, it just isn't bearing up all that well. So unless you're a fan of the series, begin with one of the other books featuring the SF detective.
