STRAWBERRY SUNDAY

This book continues the John Marshal Tanner series with investigator Tanner hospitalized and recovering from a gunshot wound. When a fellow patient he befriends is murdered, Tanner must look for her killer. Brian Emerson narrates a steadfast story with energetic prose. He projects Tanner's intelligence, brooding and toughness and captures each of the remaining characters with singular distinction. Revelations of the social-political chasm between strawberry pickers and owners also become apparent as the investigation reaches its conclusion.
