The LA Times 1965 Woman Of The Year, and Edgar and MWA Grand Master Award winning mystery author and screenwriter was a pioneer in her writing of mature, well-developed women characters with rich psychological detail.
In this mystery, set in Los Angeles and Southern California, Daisy Harker has threateningly realistic dreams of her own death and gravesite--and becomes involved with detective Steve Pinata, a dubious Stanley Field, and the underworld world of crime.
