Treasure Hunt by John Lescroart

In ten words or less: Is lovely Alicia telling the truth about Como's murder?

Review:
Gorgeous Alicia Thorpe is a driver for Dominic Como, a man known for his involvement in many local charities and considerable political clout. When Como is murdered, private investigator Wyatt Hunt becomes involved by vetting the calls for a tip line offering a reward for information.
Mickey Dade works for Hunt, mostly doing office work, but wants to be more involved in the investigations. When he meets Alicia, he is immediately attracted to her. Is his attraction clouding his judgement? Alicia's scarf is found at the murder scene, and she admits she lied to the police. Is she playing Mickey to cover her involvement in the crime?

Why bother? Lots of characters call the tip line with information for the reward. The payoff is an intelligent mystery set in the colorful streets of San Francisco.
