No Sign of Murder

A Private Investigator Stuart Winter Novel

By: Alan Russell

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

“Chilling...satisfying...offers up tasty tidbits of San Francisco lore . . . [Russell] has a gift for dialogue, slyly using it to reveal character.”—New York Times Book Review

San Francisco P.I. Stuart Winter looks into the death of a young, deaf heiress who volunteered as a sign language instructor—for a gorilla who may have witnessed her murder.

“Polished and provocative...a California mystery of the hard-boiled school...very well written, with a corking good plot and fine characters.”—Booklist

“Remarkable...[hops] from avant-garde theater to a deaf school, from winos’ alleys to an artist’s studio, to a double-twist conclusion.”—Armchair Detective

“An exemplary debut. Highly recommended.”—Kirkus Reviews

“A shocker...a genuinely original PI novel.”—Jeremiah Healy, Shamus Award-winning author

“A wise book, distilled from a life’s understanding of the human animal: its limits, excesses, and, on occasion, its surpassing beauty.”—Loren D. Estleman, author of the Amos Walker Mysteries

Three Tails Press editions have been revised and updated by the author.
