Description

Earthquake Shack is part literary mystery, part romp; add a dash of romance and a reflection on loss, and you get the picture. It features Sadie García Miller, an investigator who specializes in locating beloved lost objects for her clients, though she's not always so good at finding what she herself is missing.

“It’s not just this mystery’s San Francisco setting that conjures Dashiell Hammett: Like a classic-noir regular, Sadie is a hard drinker and a just-as-hard smoker who stays fit boxing at the gym. Then again, classic noir isn’t known for its bisexual Mexican Jewish sleuths, nor is there anything hard-boiled about Sadie’s narration . . . Sadie [is] an inspired mashup. Readers [will] have fun skulking around San Francisco with her.”

Advance Praise

“Earthquake Shack is a unique love letter to the San Francisco of our past, present and future, not to mention a rollicking ride with a vibrant cast of characters. Fun, queer, and unforgettable, the novel is a must-read for historians, romantics, and diehard locals.” —Brittany Newell, author of Soft Core

“Reading Earthquake Shack felt like wandering through the best foggy San Francisco morning—layered, unpredictable and full of unexpected magic. Investigator Sadie García Miller is our gritty, little bit psychic, lovable queer sleuth who finds lost objects. The mystery of a stolen house is as bizarre as it is compelling, and the book doesn’t stop there. Susie Hara captures the city in all its complexity, from the fog-drenched avenues in the Sunset to the gentrified streets of the Mission. The City isn’t just a place or a backdrop. It’s a living, haunted character. Queer, bicultural, and grounded in San Francisco’s compelling history, this is a mystery for people who want a good story that keeps them on their toes.” —Virgie Tovar, author of The Body Positive Journal
