Educated at St. Louis University, Rice and Fordham, he relished life long passions for reading, writing and film. In his 40’s he studied the detective genre and found it ripe territory for his talent and his uniquely “literary” approach. His narratives weave in rich tapestries of places he lived in and loved including San Francisco and Northern California (the settings for this novel) and New York City. His novels are punctuated with clever and often humorous references to his wife and close friends.weniger sehen
