Hall, Mary Bowen Emma Chizzit And The Napa Nemesis: A Walker Mystery
Walker And Company 1992 0802732119 / 9780802732118 Hardcover Fine Fine
Like-new condition. Appears unread. NO remainder marks or price clippings. Price inside dustcover: $19.95. 164 pages. Tight spine, bright pages. NO writing, marks or tears. Number line: 2 4 6 8 10 9 7 5 3 1. From Publishers Weekly The doughty, eponymous senior citizen sleuth nearly comes to grief in her third case (after Emma Chizzit and the Sacramento Stalker ). Rumors of the existence of a previously unknown Robert Louis Stevenson manuscript intrigue Emma, who runs a salvage company, and her friend, Frannie Edmundson, especially since the manuscript may be hidden in the Napa Valley, where they both grew up. Taking up the hunt, Emma and friends--including Frannie's beau, PR man Mike Channing, and Emma's would-be suitor, retired cop Vince Valenti--find they have been preceded everywhere by millionaire twins Mannie and Morrie Wulff, also from Napa and notorious for playing practical jokes on each other. After a drawing of a naked Mannie disappears from an art show and then the man himself goes missing, no one raises a cry. Then Emma learns that the artist is gone, having won a trip to Hawaii, and that her alcoholic mother has died under circumstances that suggest murder. Closing in on the missing parts--man and manuscript--Emma encounters real trouble. Hall's civilized, opinionated and fiercely independent sleuth brings a refreshing, down-to-earth approach to life and crime. Copyright 1992 Reed Business Information, Inc. From Library Journal In a third outing (following Emma Chizzit and the Sacramento Stalker , Walker, 1991), companionable Emma, who supplements her social security with a part-time salvage job, joins forces with best friend Frannie, Frannie's beau, and retired-but-smitten policeman Vince to discover the whereabouts of a recently publicized "lost" Robert Louis Stevenson book. They begin in nearby Napa Valley, where they find that wealthy twin brothers have the jump on them. Events turn nasty after one of the twins goes missing and the artist who sketched his nude portrait turns up dead. Chatty, enthusiastic, tightly strung, and--despite minimal plot--a quick time-killer. Copyright 1992 Reed Business Information, Inc.
