In New York Times bestselling author Marcia Muller's captivating
mystery, private detective Sharon McCone's investigation hits closer to
home than ever before?Ķ
The Color of Fear
When a knock on the door in the middle of the night wakes Sharon, she's
wholly unprepared for the horrifying news: her father has been the
victim of a vicious, racially-motivated attack.
A nationally recognized Shoshone artist, Elwood had been visiting Sharon
for the holidays, browsing for gifts in San Francisco's exclusive Marina
district when he was set upon by a mob of angry young men. Now he lies
in a coma, hovering between life and death.
With little progress on the investigation from the overworked,
short-handed police, Sharon resolves to track down Elwood's attackers
herself. But when Sharon begins receiving hate-filled, racist threats
from a shadowy group, it becomes clear that her pursuit of justice may
be putting her own life in jeopardy...
