Bartlett House, a Will Adelhardt/Lucy Hidalgo Mystery by Duane Poncy and Patricia J Mclean

A Will Adelhardt / Lucy Hidalgo Mystery. When a fire burns down the historic Bartlett House, the body of young activist, Emmy d’Angelo is found inside, dressed in bondage gear. Her older lover, professor Will Adelhardt, is under suspicion, but the manner in which Emmy is found is incomprehensible to Adelhardt, who is devastated by her loss. Now he must take a dark voyage through the past and his own tortured soul to find out what happened to her. Will Adelhardt and his journalist friend, Lucy Hidalgo embark on a journey through Portland, Oregon’s history from sixties protest to the nineteenth-century lumber barons to radical Louise Bryant. Bartlett House is an exciting mystery-thriller with undertones of magical realism.
