Publisher's summary
Winner of four major indie publishing gold medals, 2016-17.
From the creator of the Emmy Award-winning Neverwinter Nights, a novel with a unique hero, an unlikely love story, and more twists than San Francisco's Lombard Street.
It's not cozy but it's intimate. It's not procedural but it makes you think, which is why it's been honored both as a mystery and as literary fiction. Its influences range from Raymond Chandler's The Big Sleep to the Coen Brothers' The Big Lebowski to J.D. Salinger's The Catcher in the Rye.
"Compelling, mysterious, tender and moving...." - IndieReader, March 2017
"Rating: 9/10. The intricate plot is ingeniously executed so that all pieces of the puzzle fit together.... Twists and turns that at first appear questionable end up working perfectly.... The prose is top notch.... The book's distinctively original structure moves the story along briskly...." - The BookLife Prize, Publishers Weekly, September 2017
Assassinated: The crusading politician who saved hundreds of San Francisco homes from the bulldozers of a big developer.
Accused: A mysterious young loner who speaks his own unique dialect of English and refuses to answer questions.
Unexpected: A woman who will risk her promising future for a man without a past.
When teacher turned deckhand Steve Ondelle is framed for the killing of a San Francisco supervisor, he tumbles into a world of billion-dollar deals and bizarre sexual adventures, a world where hard evidence depicts him as a misfit who turns to murder.
To expose these freshly-minted lies, Steve must first make peace with a lifetime of painful truths. He travels from the piers of Sausalito to the penthouses of San Francisco, with unlikely allies like Leonard the Human Statue, Eli of the Coral Reef, The Prophet of Market Street.
And Liam the Fog Seller.

In the summer of 1986, two tragedies rocked Oklahoma City. Six movie-theater employees were killed in an armed robbery while one inexplicably survived. Then, a teenage girl vanished from the annual state fair. Neither crime was ever solved. Twenty-five years later, the reverberations of those unsolved cases quietly echo through survivors’ lives. A private investigator in Vegas, Wyatt’s latest inquiry takes him back to a past he’s tried to escape - and drags him deeper into the harrowing mystery of the movie house robbery that left six of his friends dead.

Asian American private investigator Lydia Chin knows New York City's Chinatown, its people, and its ways as no outsider ever could. It's a city within a city, a rich melange of smells, sounds, dark shops, and close-knit families - a world all its own. And in all of Chinatown, there is no one like Lydia, who has a nose for trouble, a disapproving Chinese mother, and a partner named Bill Smith who's been living above a bar for 16 years. Hired to find some precious stolen porcelain, Lydia follows a trail of clues from highbrow art dealers into a world of Chinese gangs.

Story
Lucie Montgomery's semi-estranged brother, Eli, calls her in France to tell her that their father, Leland, has been killed in a hunting accident on the family's 500-acre Virginia vineyard. But the vineyard is now shabby and run-down and her siblings want to sell it. Then Lucie's godfather tells her Leland's death was no accident. With her greedy brother, hell-raising sister, and a seemingly cut-rate vintner hired by Leland just before he died, all the suspects are disturbingly close to home.

A Fun Read about The City by the Bay
What a fun and enjoyable read. Many twists and turns and a lot of description of SanFrancisco and the people that live in that beautiful place. We had a lot of fun listening to the story and such a great reader. If you have visited San Francisco, you will really enjoy this book. We couldn't put this book down. Kudos to the author as he is spot on.

A well deserved Award Winner of a novel
I had never heard of this book at all, and when the opportunity came for me to listen to it I was surprised to see how many awards it had won, and deservedly so. This tale is meticuously crafted, perfectly plotted, and peppered with realistic and interesting characters.This is more than a mystery. It is a journey into the amazing mind of Don Daglow, and it is one that will make you feel everything that Steve, the MC, is going through.
Steve, the protagonist, just wants to lead a simple life, but suddenly finds himself the suspect of a double homicide. His shipmates decide to help him in his time of troubles, and this is where the story takes off. Questions arise from the typical Whodunnit to simply will Steve's love be requited? Oh, and while it is more than a mystery novel, the mystery is complex and captivating.
Stifel is excellent at drawing you in and holding your attention once he has you. He really makes you believe that he is each individual character, and that the events are really occuring in real time. He elevates an already amazing novel.
Fog Seller is just fabulous, and you will lament that your time with Steve and his crew is over. You will miss them and wish there was more to this story.

Not your typical murder mystery
Any additional comments?
I approached this book expecting a typical murder mystery. To some it may very well be but I found it more of a psychological study/love story using murder to move our protagonist, Steve, through coming to terms with who he is and finding romance. The eclectic cast of supporting characters assisting Steve on his journey of discovery is a group of street performers, a detective, a ferry deck hand, former students, a scientist, Steve's landlady and a baker.
As the murder investigation moves along different people become suspects and the identity of the killer wasn't tipped until late in the novel. The evidence was not strong enough for an immediate arrest and an elaborate "stage play" is designed to trap the killer. This was a unique turn for me and I enjoyed it very much.
I do recommend a listen to this book. I think it is well worth the time.
Mr Stifel handles the multitude of characters well although I found some of the character voices a little emotionless.

A mystery full of twists
The narrator is excellent. This mystery involves a lot of unusual characters such as Liam the Fog Seller, Leonard the Human Statue and The Prophet of Market Street. Steve, who has his own unique dialog and is not good at answering questions must deal with his painful past as he searches for the real killers. This is full of twists and turns with clues coming from unexpected sources. An enjoyable listen.
