Ambrose Bierce and the Queen of Spades: A Mystery Novel Hardcover - 1998
by Oakley Hall
In a fast-paced novel that is a combination of murder mystery, historical fiction, and quirky biography, Oakley Hall draws the reader into 1880s San Francisco and the changing world that was California in the latter part of the 19th century.
From the rear cover
Oakley Hall is a novelist who never seems to make a wrong move. His impulses for what's dramatic, for what will touch and move us, for how to engage issues of the heart with those of the mind--all are uncommonly acute. He is a writer to read and read again.--Richard Ford
