Timber Beasts: A Sage Adair Historical Mystery of the Pacific Northwest
The year is 1902. John Sagacity Adair, "Sage" to his friends, is a wealthy restaurant proprietor in Portland, Oregon. Beneath the flickering gaslights of his elegant eatery, Mozart's Table, Sage appears urbane and attractively shallow. Yet, he is someone altogether different. Haunted by memories of an impoverished childhood, Sage seeks acceptance by City's financial elite only so that he can expose their secrets.
After nearly two years of social maneuvering, he has won an invitation to Arista Dunlop's exclusive soiree. By the end of that night, more questions are raised than he thinks can be answered. What is the secret deal Portland's financiers are so eager to hide? Did his cook's nephew knife the brutal railroad guard? And, why has his Chinese colleague chosen such an inopportune time to make the distracting observations that "a soul needs unbreakedness?" Nothing is turning out as Sage planned.
