About this series
Get
ready for a rollicking and irresistible new mystery from award-winning artist
and author Paul Madonna
Amsterdam,
2019—following the conclusion of Come to Light. Former rock star turned artist
Emit Hopper’s life has taken yet another strange turn. His old friend, the
legendary San Francisco private detective Ronnie Gilbert, is dead, and his
killer has just been acquitted. But when a disheveled acquaintance from Ronnie’s
past walks into Emit’s shop, a puzzling mystery resurfaces, twenty years cold.
We’re
transported back to San Francisco, 1999, to when Emit and Ronnie first met. Emit
has returned to taking commissions drawing people’s houses, only to be strong-armed
by a shady police lieutenant into acting as her off-the-books spy. On top of
that, a strange young woman claiming to be his daughter refuses to leave him
alone. From there unfolds an intricate tale of corruption and murder that leads
to an explosive scandal, with consequences that, two decades hence, are finally
revealed.
From
the world of the Emit Hopper Mysteries series, The Commissions kicks
off the origin story of what promises to be an unforgettable new eccentric
detective, Ronnie Gilbert. In a mystery filled with suspense and surprises
around every corner, Paul Madonna delivers a rich and captivating portrait of San
Francisco in the last days before the turn of the millennium, brought to life by
one hundred of his signature pen-and-ink drawings.
