writing for about 10 years," he says. "The creative juices got all mixed up with the tobacco juices. I'd sit in front of my typewriter and cry. Nothing came out."
He has caught up since then. "Queen" (University of California Press ; $22.95) "is a thriller set in San Francisco in the late 1880s, a time with all the scandal, political intrigue and colorful characters a writer could hope for. . . . The Southern Pacific Railroad moguls ran the state. Traffic was already murder on Market Street, even though cars hadn't been invented. With 10 men for every woman, there were plenty of whorehouses, many of which were on Maiden Lane. It was called Morton Street back then, and it is the site (in the book) of a series of vicious murders."
Sexual shenanigans by politicians are the backdrop for the murder mystery, involving a Jack the Ripper type. Also figuring into the plot are high-society ladies, Chinese slave girls and colorful San Francisco characters taken from history.
