A couple of years ago I finally felt that I had enough San
Francisco in my soul to use it as the setting, even a character, in a new
private eye series. So far, there have
been two books and two novellas featuring Paladino & Lang Investigations.
The office is inhabited by Carly Paladino, a fourth generation San Franciscan whose
PI background comes from an executive position in a high-toned security firm; Noah
Lang, a somewhat lazy, street-wise P.I. who just wants to get by; over the hill
Harry Brinkman, an old-school kind of guy who just wants keep his hand in and
have a place to go; and Thanh, a gender-bending, multi-talented, part-time
operative who keeps everyone on their toes and in their places.
Over the last few years, in my meanderings throughout the
city, I’ve taken photographs of the city, and its diverse neighborhoods. And
I’ve recorded some of the incredible art that local muralists have given to the
public to view. So I thought I’d put a
few of those photographs together to give you an idea of the San Francisco I
see and the city where my fiction occurs.
This snippet is roughly three minutes long, including some sneaky shots
of book covers from the series. Let me
know what you think.
P.S. To read them in
order, get Mascara, Death in the
Tenderloin, Death in Pacific Heights,
Death in North Beach and Death in the Haight.
