- Summary
- San Francisco is the ideal place for murder, mystery, and malevolence. Far beneath the swinging coils of the Golden Gate Bridge, in a dank set of abandoned prison cells, a strange caretaker with evil intentions plots his nefarious deeds. Atop the hills of Pacific Heights, an innocent young woman rides an evening cable car, stalked by her handsome fiance. In a seedy bar on Fifth Street, a stone-faced man awaits his next victim. These and other eerie and exciting stories can be found in San Francisco Thrillers, the first anthology of mysteries and thrillers set in the City by the Bay, and illustrated with the haunting vintage photographs of Francis Bruguiere.
