This Atlanta World: A Sinister Span Mystery (The Sinister Span Series)

Melissa Barrett is missing and presumed dead. All that she left behind was a rambling, incoherent journal, a bizarre suicide collage, and a ladder propped against the top of the railing along the Smith High Bridge in St. Paul. Anjali (Angie) Harrison, a bridge inspector for the Minnesota Department of Transportation fascinated by bridges and suicides, is immediately intrigued, and she eventually decides to try to find Melissa on her own. Angie's investigation takes her everywhere from a snotty, suburban McMansion to deep inside the local St. Paul music scene, and everyone seems to have secrets ... including Angie. The penultimate indictment of modern society, "This Atlanta World", meanders through music, mental illness, and possibly murder, shining a light into the darkest, least understood vagaries of the human psyche.
