<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>THE SECOND BOOK IN THE KATE MARTINELLI MYSTERY SERIES <p/>When a band of homeless people cremate a beloved dog in San Francisco's Golden Gate Park, the authorities are willing to overlook a few broken regulations. But three weeks later, when the dog's owner gets the same fiery send-off, the San Francisco Police Department has a real headache on its hands. The autopsy suggests homicide, but Inspector Kate Martinelli and her partner, Al Hawkin, have little else to go on: a homeless victim with no positive ID, a group of witnesses with little love for the cops, and a possible suspect, known only as Brother Erasmus, who proves both articulate and impossible to understand. <p/>Erasmus, has a genius for blending with his surroundings, yet he stands out wherever he goes. He is by no means crazy--but he is a Fool. Kate begins the frustrating task of interrogating a man who communicates only through quotations. In Laurie R. King's <i>To Play the Fool</i>, trying to learn something of his history leads Kate along a twisting road to a disbanded cult, long-buried secrets, the thirst for spirituality, and the hunger for bloody vengeance.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"Beautifully written, with clearly defined and engaging characters." --<i>The Boston Globe</i> <p/>"Its characters, and its language, linger in the mind long after more conventional entries in the genre are gone." --<i>San Jose Mercury News</i></p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Laurie R.
