Synopsis: Newly promoted detective Jill Smith confronts a traffic circle homicideAfter six months of perfect weather, the people of Berkeley, California, have forgotten how to drive during a thunderstorm. Newly christened homicide detective Jill Smith is on her way home to a chocolate ice cream dinner when she gets caught in a traffic jam at the city&’s only roundabout. At the front of the line, she sees the trouble: a flipped-over Cadillac and one dead driver. The man behind the wheel was one of the city&’s leading citizens, a philanthropist in a town that puts charity first. He was coming down Berkeley&’s steepest hill when his brakes failed, flipping his car and ending his charity work forever. Two things trouble Jill. First, the car&’s brakes had been inspected that afternoon. Second, the driver was nearly blind, and unfit to ever take the wheel. Finding the killer will lead her from Berkeley&’s upper echelon all the way into the depths of the community&’s underbelly.This ebook features an illustrated biography of Susan Dunlap including rare images from the author&’s personal collection.
