Private Investigator
San Francisco
Introduction
Private Investigator Sam Marlowe was enjoying a dry martini at his usual bar in North Beach. He then got a call from Cosette, a dazzling dame who was nothing but trouble. As a man once burned, he knew he should stay away from her. However, as a PI he was interested in what she had to say.
The Crime
Cosettes friend, an exotic dancer in San Francisco, was murdered in Washington Square. Two underage girls from the Broadway strip joints also went missing at the same time. Sam suspected a connection between these crimes. Before he knew it, he was embroiled in the sordid underbelly of the citys sex trade.
The Investigation
Sam runs into opposition from corrupt cops and city officials who dont want him conducting his investigation. But despite being followed by hired goons every step of the way, nothing can dissuade this hard-boiled detective from closing a case.
Additional Elements
This mystery also includes Sams remembrances of previous cases, accounts of San Franciscos historical figures, observations of city life, and walking tours covering the storys locations.
