But three weeks later, when the dog¿s owner gets the same fiery send-off, the SFPD 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eErasmus, 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 To Play the Fool, 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA Macmillan Audio production.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Macmillan Audio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47114455187696,"sku":"2940169427363","price":26.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940169427363_p0.jpg?v=1769895660","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940169427363","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
