Homicide detectives Kate Martinelli and Al Hawkin are back to investigate the death of a man whose cremated remains are found in San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park. Implicated in the death is Erasmus, a wandering soul and latterday Shakespearean Fool.
Reluctant to take on another high profile case, Kate is too intrigued to walk away. As she begins to untangle the web of secrecy Erasmus has woven around his former life, she starts to doubt his guilt. But Erasmus will say nothing to point the investigation away from himself, and Kate must not only prove one man’s innocence, she must also nail the real killer.
A compassionate and complex novel, 'To Play the Fool' is rich in characterisation and highly original, more than living up to the promise of Laurie King’s acclaimed debut, 'A Grave Talent.'
“'To Play the Fool' is quite wonderful”
BOSTON GLOBE
“Original and Subtle”
