| Book #1 " The Death of Love is Haight " 1967
In the summer following
the 1967 'Summer of Love' the Haight Ashbury is reeling from the clash of publicity, concerned politicians and carnal curiosity.
The streets of San Francisco are clogged without of town tourists in cars taking pictures, buying the same edition of
the underground newspaper with different covers, and shaking their heads at the shocking freedom of Sodom and Gomorrah in
the City by the Bay and stalked by a single madman who must induce the runaways and teeny-boppers to use drugs in order to
punish them for the previous summer of freedom in lust and drugs - using an exotic Chinese herb that causes them to smile
themselves to death! When Norris Cheel, the Super-cop of Stanyon Street dies while apparently packaging
the lethal drug for street use all Lieutenant Allen MacKendrie Hoag has to do is to keep quiet and his most outspoken critic-the
man who keeps alive the false rumors that he killed his
young wife in Los Angeles in 1957 will be silenced forever -leaving the mother of his illegitimate
son Matthew in the clear - but can he live with himself when his gut
tells him that Norris Cheel was murdered by Loraine Lovich? Chapter 1 ♥
|  | “ Full Circle “ Book #2
1974
The Streets of San Francisco
are cold, dark, and lonely when your a homeless Vietnam Vet subject to blackouts and rages- but its worse to find yourself
next to a dead man with the bloody knife in your hand and no memory of exactly what happened- except that you know in your
soul you didn't kill him! And the only ones who believe in you are a twelve-year-old boy and a six-foot-five Lebanese monk
named Brother John! Chapter 11 |
| | Book #3 " The Nature of the Beast " 1976
Brother John
Carbasian and his partner, ex-cop Allen MacKendrie Hoag return to the Streets of San Francisco to find and stop a murderer
who is targeting the homeless and the broken in spirit! While Brother John and Al fight in their own way to save 21-year old
Matthew Lovich from the cruel stain of his very public inheritance as the heir to the man who raised him as his own son, Samuel
‘The Snake” Lovich after his mother Loraine. Knowing she was pregnant by the dour Scotsman, Loraine married him
to spite her grandfather’s intentions to steal the child away from her as much as to be free of the Scots man’s
dour insistence on right and wrong!
Al finds himself tempted to ask that late summer ‘What does it profit
a man to gain the whole world and lose the soul of his only son?’ as GOD and Brother John seem to be the only ones listening
to him-his son certainly isn’t! ♥
