MARCIA MULLER

Marcia Muller is generally credited with writing the first novel to feature a female private investigator: Edwin Of The Iron Shoes, in 1977, featuring Sharon McCone. Sharon McCone has worked for All Souls Legal Co-op since then until it went private in the 90's. All Souls offered low cost legal representation to people who otherwise couldn't afford it - which allowed McCone initially to take clients not usually represented in detective fiction. The outlook of these books has become darker and Sharon has become more cynical as time's moved on.
