The Emerald Triangle

Files of Doug McCool #2

by Miles Archer

Miles Archer’s erstwhile hero, Doug McCool returns for another wild adventure. San Francisco, 1974. The Symbionese Liberation Army. The Zodiac Killer. The Zebra Murders. The People’s Temple and the Reverend Jim Jones. McCool tangles with the famous, infamous and just plain crooked as he weaves his own bizarre path through the events of that wild decade--The‘Seventies. Meet commercial marijuana growers living in bucolic tranquility; enter the world of drunks, bikers and whores; come eyeball-to-eyeball with the notorious Zodiac and the even more terrifying Reverend Jim Jones-- all leading up to an explosive encounter with the IRA. Plus the sage advice of McCool’s "dear old gray-haired mother". A wild mix of murder, political intruige, an unsolved mass murder case, dope dealing, gun-running and enough sub-plots for three books--Archer delivers another roller-coaster ride through the streets of San Francisco!
