Locked Rooms (Mary Russell and Sherlock Holmes, Bk 8)

This is a great book for readers interested in the 1906 San Francisco Earthquake. The author obviously drew on her grandparents' experiences, and has captured the PTSD that many survivors suffered from. In addition, the book deals with how greed can destroy people, and how sociopathic killers target victims. Sherlock Holmes is in the story, but he and wife Mary are merely tools in the hands of the writer.
