A body on the steps. A neighborhood that saw nothing.
Vivian Salvatore came back to Telegraph Hill with a cat, a divorce settlement, and a book she cannot seem to write.
At fifty-two, newly divorced after three years of separation, she has settled into the rhythms of San Francisco’s most beautiful staircase: coffee at the corner café, morning walks on the Filbert Steps, familiar faces on three corners, and the comforting illusion that everyone knows everyone.
Then, on a bright October morning, Vivian finds one of the city’s most ambitious developers dead on the third landing.
The police are ready to call it a fall. But after twenty-seven years of reading teenagers’ faces, Vivian knows when a story does not fit. A coat buttoned wrong. A cigarette ground out where it should not be. Storefronts quietly sold to a post office box in Delaware. And a neighborhood full of people with reasons to want one man gone.
The more questions Vivian asks, the more she uncovers secrets about money, loyalty, grief, and who really gets to call a place home. Because on Telegraph Hill, everyone sees everything.
And someone saw what happened on the third landing.
The Filbert Steps is an atmospheric, fair-play San Francisco mystery for readers who like their cozies a little darker, their pace unhurried, and their settings vivid enough to get lost in. The first Telegraph Hill Mystery features a sharp-eyed midlife sleuth, a close-knit neighborhood, and a crime hidden among the steep stairways, secret gardens, neighborhood cafés, and foggy streets of North Beach.
