"A welcome addition to this tough genre." The New York Times Book Review

"In recent years women private eyes have become big business, as anyone who's been following the fortunes of Sue Grafton and Sara Paretsky can attest. Thanks to their success, the way has been opened for many other women to write mysteries uniquely their own. A fine example is Janet Dawson." The Denver Post

"Janet Dawson's new kid on the block, Jeri Howard, another Californian, is a kindred spirit of Dashiell Hammett's Continental Op character." USA Weekend

Filipino-American professor Lito Manibusan is dead, murdered in a San Francisco parking garage. His body was found by a fellow Cal State history professor - whose daughter is Oakland private eye Jeri Howard.

Several months after the funeral, mystery woman Dolores Cruz shows up on campus, claiming to be the dead man's widow. Dolly wants the professor's papers, but they've already been turned over to Dr. Manibusan's next-of-kin.

Jeri discovers the pattern of death and deception leads from the Bay Area's Filipino-American community all the way back to the Philippines and World War II.

After all, the past never dies. It's just covered up.
