From Charleston to Hilton Head, Family matters . . . and murder is relative. When a fifth cousin twice removed calls Bay Tanner--a young, recently widowed financial consultant--from the Beaufort County Jail, its no accident. Mercer Mary Prescott spent a lot of time and trouble locating Bay on the family tree, and she needs more than bail out of the relationship. What shes really after is a secret Bays not willing to reveal--yet. But when Bay generously takes Mercer back to the family mansion of Presquisle, she finds that this distant kin comes with a lot of personal baggage--and some very dangerous pursuers. Before Bay can help straighten out Mercers problems, the mousy young woman disappears. Bay begins a desperate hunt for her shirttail cousin through the twisted alleys of the past, from Civil War days to a plantation called Perdition House, and to one last deadly fight. . . . . . . Sue Grafton, Sara Paretsky, and Marcia Muller come to mind as the quintessential writers of the modern female private eye novel. Wall, in a quiet and unassuming way, has produced a body of work of equal quality. Highly recommended. --Library Journal on The Mercy Oak Third book in the Bay Tanner mystery series.
