For Immediate Release:
Coming on April 2, 2012:
"A Shot
In The Arm", a new mystery/thriller by S.F. Attorney, Barry S.
Willdorf, takes the reader to the San Francisco of the early 1970s. Travel back
in time to visit a Bay Area rarely portrayed in today's literature. Peruse the
menu at the Trident Restaurant on the Sausalito waterfront. Slide seamlessly
among the old, waterlogged houseboats that lined the shore. Mingle with Vietnam
era soldiers and sailors, black militants and hippies. Watch Raymond Chandler's
movie "The Long Goodbye" for a couple of bucks. Order a beer for a
buck. Score drugs of all kinds on practically every street corner. Stroll the
Fillmore district before it was gentrified. Witness a car chase over the dirt
roads that once crisscrossed Bernal Hill. Sneak into the City’s shipyards and
foundries when they still bustled with activity. Spend time at the Hamilton Air
Force Base officer's club. Sip Java where longshoremen once prowled. Tag along
with rogue government agents as they scheme to arm anti-communist guerrillas
using drug profits.
"A Shot
In The Arm delivers a dark murder plot with characters that are right on
the money." Mark Rudd, author of Underground: My life in SDS and the
Weathermen.
"The legal details are sharp; the drinking
and drugging and low life neighborhoods are Day-Glo vivid." Meredith Sue Willis, author of Ten Strategies
to Write Your Novel and Out of the Mountains.
"A detective story with a sense of geography,
a sense of morality, and a sense of humor." Frances Lefkowitz, author of
To Have Not.
"Gripping. Exciting. Add 'A Shot in the Arm' to the classic tales
of the City by the Bay." Hilton Obenzinger, author of Cannibal Eliot and
the Lost Histories of San Francisco and Busy Dying
A Shot In The Arm is part
of a trilogy being published by Whiskey Creek Press. Part One, Burning Questions,
