The Bohemian Murders: A Fremont Jones Mystery

Forced to leave San Francisco after the earthquake of 1906, Fremont Jones follows her heart to the bohemian beach community of Carmel where she befriends a local artist and signs on as a temporary keeper of the Point Pinos Lighthouse. When a velvet-clad corpse washes in on the tide, Fremont is off on a new quest. When she's attacked and robbed, her lighthouse torched, and the artist helping her turns up missing, she realizes she is perilously close to the truth. And that the next body to drift in on the tide might well be her own.
