Publisher Description
You never know if the people sitting next to you are killers or just people sitting next to you.
Meet the Carlsons. They’re your typical, fun-loving married couple on vacation. They’re charming, intelligent, and hospitable. That’s how they turn you into a victim.
The Carlsons are defacing San Francisco’s beloved tourist attractions with body parts. SFPD desperately needs help and reaches out to the FBI for help. Agent Abby Kane quickly draws a connection between the body parts and the FBI’s investigation of a dead hiker found ten miles north of the city. After a bit of digging, she theorizes that the person responsible for the scattered body parts is playing a real-life game that requires him to show off his victims. As the murders continue to mount, Abby must do the unthinkable: join the game.

Russian Hill
I just finished this book. I can't wait to read the next two of the Chasing Chinatown trilogy. It's fast paced with twists and turns. I never did figure out how it would end...until the end! Great read!
Russian Hill
Usually I hate crime thrillers books because they are all so cliche: two people with troubled pasts who have to find a killer and grow closer together. I love Russian Hill because it gets rid of that overemphasis of romance. This book is all about the case and it is written in a way that keeps me wanting more. This is really one of the only books I've seen which could really be classified as thriller. The characters were lovable and their characters shone through clearly in this well-written, relatable work of art. Bringing Abby's family life into this made it more personal and I was able to connect with the characters. This is an amazing book and I look forward to finishing a the series.
Must read
Excellent read. Great character development. Story moved quickly, with a definite plot and sub plot. Even though there is reference to previous events (that are most likely covered in prior books) it did not take away from the story, just intrigued you - a very savvy way to encourage a reader to buy other books! Fascinating cultural references that had me making a list to Goggle (and try/visit). Definitely plan to read more by this author.
