Some people prefer the old days when Sharon was a young, eager, and underpaid investigator for All Souls Legal Cooperative. For me, the changes in McCone's character were not only expected, but in this case, they served to strengthen McCone's integrity and self-sufficiency. With her estrangment from the All Souls "family", McCone has to rely more than ever on her own sense and meticulous detecting skills. It's this greater sense of resolve, as well as the breathlessly paced plot, that make this novel one of the best Muller novels ever.

Marsha Muller has always struck me as being a formula writer, and her characters never rang true to me. But this book breaks the mold. A great read for those long summer evenings on the porch.

Wolf in the Shadows

Very well written - with atmospheric descriptions of places the detective goes to. I enjoy the Sharon McCone books - having just recently discovered them - and as a person who does not live in the USA, the descriptions of people and places help bring life in the USA alive for me.

Illegal aliens, environmental terrorists, and more...

Wolf in the Shadows is another in Marcia Muller's Sharon McCone series, and McCone gets better which each subsequent book.
Sharon McCone is a PI living in San Francisco and working for a law firm called All Souls Legal Cooperative. At the beginning of Wolf in the Shadows, McCone is faced with two major issues. First, her job at All Souls is being turned into a supervisor/desk position, something that McCone knows will not work for her. Just when she has to make a decision about her job, her lover, Hy Ripinsky goes missing. Ripinsky is an environmental activist who has a shady past (maybe CIA?). When McCone starts investigating, she discovers that Ripinsky took on a job for an international security agency, RKI. The CEO of a biotech company was kidnapped, and Ripinsky was given the job of delivering the ransom money in exchange for the CEO. But now Ripinsky is missing also, and RKI wants both Ripinsky and their money. They suspect that Ripinsky has skipped town with the ransom money and they hire McCone to find out what happened to him.
McCone travels to San Diego and Mexico on Ripinsky's trail. In the process, she has to deal with illegal aliens, environmental terrorists, crooked Mexican politicians and gang members as well as the ruthless men from RKI. She also must make some hard decisions about what she wants for her future (that's providing she lives to see it through).
The only thing that really spoiled Wolf in the Shadows is that I have not been reading these books in order. Having read one that was published after Wolf in the Shadows, I had a basic idea of how it would end. So from now on, I will be a little more careful to read them in order. Other than that, Wolf is a fine book in a good series.
