Where there's smoke...
San Francisco, September 7, 1907
The popular but controversial restaurant known as the Cliff House has mysteriously gone up in flames, crashing into the ocean off Land's End. When rumors start flying that it was arson, the manager hires attorney Jonathan Perris to save his reputation by finding out who lit the match. Meanwhile, Jonathan's associate Oliver Bean reluctantly agrees to investigate the death of Wallace Portman, a financier who lost his fortune on a stock scheme gone bad. All signs point to suicide, but Gwen Portman insists her father was murdered.
The cases appear completely unrelated, but Jonathan and his colleagues uncover evidence that points to a possible link involving corruption, illegal drugs, and the horrors of addiction. Exposing the truth leads to violence that touches virtually every member of the firm. Will they survive to smoke out the guilty party?

She writes historical fiction (“The Golden City” series), historical mystery (the “Barrister Perris” series) and contemporary romantic suspense (“Sinner’s Grove Suspense.”). All three series are character-linked and all are stand-alone reads.
In addition to writing and dog-snuggling, Michaels is an avid reader, traveler, quilter and bocce player, as well as a mediocre but enthusiastic golfer. She lives by director Vincent Minelli’s creed: “It’s the story that counts.”
