Earthquake Shack

“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 . . . Readers [will] have fun skulking around San Francisco with her.”
–Kirkus Reviews 

“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

“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
