| | Byron aims to arrest the mayor, the police chief and the city attorney in one fell swoop, but when he is killed investigating a murder at the waterfront, it's up to his son Hunter, a Stanford graduate and fledgling police detective, to carry his mantle. | | | She's secretly helping the chief of detectives, Byron Fallon, gather dirt on a corrupt political syndicate headed by Adam Rolf, city attorney and power broker. | | | The author is at his best when he slips into his narrative this or that little historical anecdote or snippet about "old San Francisco." It's with regard to the minutiae of the pre-earthquake city, its politics and its cultural distinctiveness that the book clearly shows considerable research and preparation. |
