Overview

In the sequel to the acclaimed police procedural THE HAIGHT, Jimmy Spracklin is back in Haight-Ashbury, seeking a killer and protecting his daughter from a murder charge. When the hippie daughter of a local industrialist is found dead and dismembered in Golden Gate Park, Spracklin must find her killer as he tries to evade an Internal Affairs investigation into his previous conduct. Detective Jimmy Spracklin is already being hounded by Internal Affairs officers when the headless body of a hippie heiress is found in Golden Gate Park. Now he must solve the high-profile murder while fighting off the IA probe, which is targeting not only Spracklin but also his daughter Marie. One misstep could result in Marie facing a murder charge. HITMAN ON HAIGHT STREET follows Spracklin as he shields his daughter from the SFPD and searches Haight-Ashbury for the heiress's killer. The second book in The Haight crime series is a dark page-turner set against the counterculture of the 1960s.
