About Mary Adler
I escaped the university politics of
"the ivory tower" for the much gentler world of World War II and the
adventures of homicide detective Oliver Wright and his German shepherd, Harley.
I live with my family in Sebastopol, California, where we have created a garden
habitat for birds and bees and butterflies, and other less desirable critters.
(Unintended consequences at work again.) I love dogs and books, crows and
compassion, writing and writers, and all things Italian, especially
Commissioner Montalbano and cannoli, not necessarily in that order. I remind
myself daily of the question poet Mary Oliver asks: "Tell me, what is it
you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?"

World War II. Marine Lieutenant Oliver
Wright comes home from the war in the Pacific injured and afraid his career as
a homicide detective is over. But when
an Italian Prisoner of War is murdered the night the Port Chicago Mutiny
verdicts are announced, and black soldiers are suspected of the crime, the Army
asks Oliver to find out the truth.
He and his canine partner Harley join
forces with an Italian POW captain and with a black MP embittered by a
segregated military. During their investigation, these unlikely allies expose
layers of deceit and violence that stretch back to World War I and uncover a
common thread that connects the murder to earlier crimes.
In the Shadow of Lies reveals the
darkness and turmoil of the Bay Area during World War II, while celebrating the
spirit of the everyday people who made up the home front. Its intriguing
characters will resonate with the reader long after its deftly intertwined
mysteries are solved.
Robin, thank you so much for hosting me and In the Shadow of Lies!
