Jefferson Shields
Created by Patricia Carlon
Australian private detective JEFFERSON SHIELDS investigates
the death of a student killed during a "peaceful" demonstration

Patricia Highsmith," include Hush, It's a Game, The
Unquiet Night, The Running Woman, The Souvenir,
The Whispering Wall, Crime of Silence and The Price
of an Orphan.
UNDER OATH
- ". . . the forthright maze-building skills of this tart,
hard-boiled author remain superlative."
(Janet Maslin, The New York Times)
.
- "Carlon's descriptions and deftly applied pressure put
her in the same league as Patricia Highsmith."
(Entertainment Weekly, editor's choice )
