About the Book

In Octobet 1951, San Francisco Police Department Senior Detective Tony Ramirez and his partner, Detective Paul Christian, are assigned a murder case that becomes a series of six brutal killings. The detectives find and arrest an overgrown child of a man named Herbie who had been living with his mother. Herbie dies while awaiting trial in San Francisco's County Jail. Paul appears satisfied that justice has been done. Still, his demeanor turns sullen. When Tony threatens to find another partner, Paul turns in his service revolver and badge. Private eye Paul Christian is cynical, awash in gin, diminished by self-loathing. When a client's husband is murdered, he vows to find the person responsible. Through the fog of too much alcohol and more than enough suspects, he eventually makes good on his promise, gets off the bottle, and learns about friendship and love. Along the way, he finds Karen, himself, and God.
About the Author: After turning down his father's offer of college, Wallace Lloyd spent six years as an apprentice in the Typographical Union. He spent most of his career as a typesetter, beginning on Linotypes and graduating to each new thing as computer technology kept changing the way things are done. He spent some time in management which distracted him from his love of keyboards. And, always reading, always honing his facility with the English language, he found himself wondering if he could put words of his own together for some other keyboard jockey to put on paper. Then, one day there came an opportunity to satisfy his curiosity. The newspaper he was working for agreed to allow him space on the editorial page to fill with a weekly opinion piece. He threw himself into the task at hand and nearly drowned before he found a rhythm and a style he felt comfortable with. Wonder of wonders, a few of the paper's readers professed to enjoy reading his stuff and he continued for a dozen or so years. In time, Mr. Lloyd tried to write a novel. He tried to write several novels, actually, without success. He was drowning again, as in the early days of his column, searching for a rhythm and a style. In Karen, he's found what he was looking for.
