Beyond Blame

John Marshall Tanner is a hard-drinking San Francisco–based PI and a man of few words. His assignments often pull him into webs of conspiracy and lies as he explores everything from the underbelly of society to its upper echelons. The John Marshall Tanner Mysteries, while being socially and politically conscious, are best known for the twists and turns of the narratives, which are always full of sex, corruption, and violence.
