Florey's Books welcomes author Matthew O’Malley as he discusses his book "Coastside Detectives: The Grand View".
***Saturday, April 23rd, 2-4pm***
About the book:
The story told in Coastside Detectives encompasses both the storied past of California’s “Baghdad by the Bay” and all-too-bloody headlines from the real Baghdad of today’s Iraq. Detective Mike Mason now lives in Pacifica but is drawn back to the rough streets of the city’s Tenderloin District by a new client, Laura Grandviewer, who is as beautiful as she is untrustworthy. Lies and half-truths send Mike upon a crooked path and before he can unsnarl all of the loose ends Laura has set waving in the criminal winds, a growing body count will work to unnerve this harden detective and will end in a climactic splash of blood.
In Coastside Detectives, Mike Mason, the latest in a long line of West Coast private eyes, takes stock of the state of his soul as he navigates the complexities of a criminal caper, and finds clarity for both in the fog-scrubbed sky viewed from California’s winding Highway One.
