A novel by

 
 
No one could convince Lieut. Jimmy Spracklin that the fire in his Haight-Ashbury boarding house started by accident. The blaze that killed his hippie landlord broke out four days before Spracklin was due to appear as the key witness in a federal murder trial. Someone had obviously set the fire to silence Spracklin before he could help the federal prosecutors send Andy Fox to Death Row.
In The Flaming Turret, Jimmy Spracklin employs the cunning and toughness he displayed in the first four novels of The Haight Mystery Series to find the arsonist and avenge his dead friend. But when problems arise in the Fox case, Spracklin is left worrying that he may not be with the SFPD long enough to find the torch.
Set in 1960s San Francisco, The Haight Mystery Series has developed a loyal following among readers who love a good mystery and want to revisit the heyday of the hippies.
