Sobre IBD

The third book in the Fog City noir series, Crookesest Street in the World, Maggie Laurent, P.I., is slowly making a name for herself in San Francisco, but it’s slow going. She is keeping the office open, but just barely. Her best friend, Maureen Dunleavy, who is on the verge of taking her final vows to become a nun, asks Maggie for her help. This entails Maggie confronting the former principal of her high school-a woman Maggie despises. At stake is the life of a young Chinese novitiate. Maggie braves San Francisco’s underworld to keep her safe, bringing down the wrath of the mayor and police chief of San Francisco, and the kingpins of the prostitution, gambling, and drug trades operated by Chinese gang lords on her head. 6
