After she moved to California, Muller wrote Edwin Of The Iron Shoes, the first novel featuring San Francisco private investigator Sharon McCone, which was published in 1977. Since then Muller has authored dozens of novels, short story collections, and non-fiction articles, several in collaboration with husband Bill Pronzini.
