ÿÿÿÿ I enjoyed this book very much.
ÿÿÿÿ This one of the most eventfully Mercy Thompson stories I can
ÿÿÿÿ remember reading. I believe have read all but this one issued
ÿÿÿÿ in the time of the Covid Restrictions when access to the SFPL was
ÿÿÿÿ eliminated then restricted to online orders picked up on the Larkin
ÿÿÿÿ Street side.
