Jack London and Murder on Nob Hill - Paperback

by Ray M. Schultze (Author)

San Francisco, 1898

A city divided by wealth, vice and fear

A murder crying out for justice

Back from the Klondike's gold fields with barren pockets and fighting to keep his family afloat, Jack London is desperate to make his mark as a writer. But when he witnesses a young woman knifed to death on fog-drenched Nob Hill-a crime the police claim to know nothing about-he refuses to walk away.

His search for answers leads him into Chinatown's shadowy alleys, where teenaged girls vanish, gang rivalries boil up, and the city's princes pull strings no one is meant to notice. Each step brings him closer to a beguiling woman whose secrets endanger them both-and to enemies who would rather see him dead than let their empire fall.

Fast-paced and vividly drawn, Jack London and Murder on Nob Hill blends the grit of a murder mystery with the immersive sweep of a historical thriller. Perfect for fans of literary icons reimagined in high-stakes investigations, this is a story of ambition, corruption and the steep price exacted for seeking the truth.
