Sharon McCone Series / Trophies and Dead Things / Marcia Muller

When a former sixties radical is murdered during a string of random sniper attacks, the All Souls Legal Cooperative must settle his surprisingly large estate. Then private investigator Sharon McCone comes across a new will, made just days before he died, that disinherits his two children in favor of four unknown and unconnected parties. McCone sifts through Perry Hilderly’s belongings, but finds little to explain this puzzling change – until she uncovers a .357 with the serial number burned off.
