Author Description

The Blue McKellogg, a walnut-sized diamond, is stolen from the Harvard Museum. Meanwhile in Denver, Colorado, private eye Frank Elgin is hired to locate plaster casts of a world famous sculpture's feet. Is there a connection? A tribute of sorts to a large Catholic family the author met in Fullerton, California, in 1958, and whose humor, talent, and friendship have been fond memories ever since. The latest egocentric novel by Craig Marshall Smith, whose Where Is Mary Bergen? was a 2023 Colorado Book of the Year finalist in the mystery category.
