The Black Dove by Steve Hockensmith

4.0

Big and Old Red are in San Francisco. After unsuccessfully trying to get a job at the Pinkerton Detective Agency, they come Dr. Chan and then Diana C. (both from the railroad in the previous book). Someone ends up dead, by what the police call suicide and by what Old Red deducifies is murder. Big Red and Old Red romp through Chinatown in an effort to solve the murder, and come across opium dens, mafia, and prostitution. It took me longer to get involved in this book than the previous novels, but in the end, it was an enjoyable listen.
