Thirty-year-old Karl has been missing since he disappeared a decade ago, lost in the fog of sixties radicalism, leaving his plutocrat father in the dust.

#3 – State’s Evidence
To clean up a rotten town, John Marshall Tanner goes after the city’s most powerful villain
El Gordo is a quiet little city just outside of San Francisco, with a charming town square, a few local businesses, and the most corrupt police force in the state of California. John Marshall Tanner has worked a case here before, and it nearly ended with him taking a beating. When the private detective returns to El Gordo, it will be his life on the line. A new district attorney is fighting to clean up this rotten burg, and he wants Tanner’s help. One of the richest men in town killed a nobody in a hit-and-run, and the culprit is doing everything he can to buy his way out of trouble. In the old days, that would have been simple. But with the DA backing him up, Tanner will scrub El Gordo clean—no matter how much blood stains its filthy streets.
#4 – Fatal Obsession
Back on his family farm, John Marshall Tanner investigates a murder that hits very close to home
It’s been thirty years since John Marshall Tanner, private eye, returned to Chaldea, and he hasn’t missed the farm—three hundred acres of thin topsoil and ratty growth—any more than he’s missed his family. There’s his sister, Gail, worn down by decades of trying to do the right thing; his brother Curt, wallowing in depression ever since his son, Billy, came back broken from Vietnam; and his other brother, Matt, in debt up to his eyeballs and trying desperately to hang on to his new wife. As the family convenes to discuss selling the farm, tensions run high—and tragedy looms on the horizon. When Billy is found hanging in a public park, the family dismisses it as suicide. But our protagonist knows murder when he sees it, and he is determined to learn what happened to the dead boy, no matter the cost to his family.
Beyond Blame 5: Psychologist Dianne Renzel has been brutally butchered in her own bed. The evidence points to her husband, Lawrence Usser, a brilliant law professor, whose speciality is the successful use of the insanity defense for a variety of unsavory clients.
Now Dianne’s parents have hired Tanner to make sure Usser doesn’t use his customary fancy legal footwork to skip the rap for his own wife’s murder. But as Tanner digs into the case, assumption after assumption gives way to question after question, and soon it’s nearly impossible to know who is guilty and who is beyond blame….
Toll Call 6: P.I. Marsh Tanner thought he knew his secretary Peggy well. But he didn’t know half as much as the phone caller, the mystery man who called Peggy at home and threatened her with mutilation if she refused to tell him her most intimate secrets and desires. And he could never have imagined that Peggy might grow to love the calls as much as she hated them. But in the treacherous, twisted days that were to follow, there was much about Peggy–and himself–that Marsh Tanner would wish he didn’t know….
Book Case 7: The acclaimed author of The Ditto List and Impact, delivers another John Marshall Tanner mystery. Tanner is hired to find the author of a manuscript that has arrived anonymously at the offices of a small San Francisco publishing house–a manuscript that is really a Pandora’s box.
Blood Type 8: Blood Type is Stephen Greenleaf’s eighth mystery featuring hard-drinking, laconic San Francisco detective John Marshall Tanner, who has been called "the long-sought heir of Sam Spade, Marlowe, and Archer" (San Francisco Chronicle). And Tanner will need all his skills and courage to solve a case the reverberations of which could shake the country. Tom Crandall, war hero, social crusader, and Tanner’s barroom confidant, lies dead in an abandoned alley in San Francisco’s Tenderloin. The police call it suicide, but Tanner suspects that the affair Crandall’s wife was having with millionaire corporate raider Richard Sands may have sealed Tom’s fate. And as he investigates, Tanner begins to turn up suspicious clues that lead to the city’s vulnerable blood supply, and to Crandall’s homeless, paranoid brother, whose accusations are so wild and terrifying that even Tanner is shaken with fear. From the velvet-lined nightclubs of the Bay Area to the burned-out porn shops of the Tenderloin, Blood Type is a novel of greed and malevolence, complete with all the Greenleaf hallmarks: literate writing, satisfying characters, and crackling good dialogue. For fans both new and old, Blood Type is a mystery to chill the veins and quicken the heartbeat.

Two months later Greta Hammond disappears. The Colberts think she has taken the fetus to barter in an extortion attempt. But days pass and no ransom request is made, no barter suggested.

The answer takes Tanner deep into the secrets of the Colbert family, whose history includes both murder and incest and a bitter struggle for control of an immense fashion empire.
