About the Book
Title:
SAN FRANCISCO NIGHTS
Author: Greg Messel
Publisher: Sunbreaks Publishing
Pages: 232
Genre: Mystery / Suspense
Book Excerpt:
The neon lights of the slumbering
city gave the streets an eerie blue and purple glow in contrast to the dark
store fronts. The three story brick office building was abandoned and the
normally bustling street at the entrance to San Francisco ’s Chinatown was quiet with only an occasional dark solitary figure
walking by. The ancient black metal fire escapes seemed to cling to the facade
of the building like an alien spider web.
The interior of the building was
dark except in the private eye’s office on the top floor where a single desk
lamp provided the only circle of illumination against the thick blackness of
the night. The lamp provided just enough light to brighten the frosted glass on
the door with the name “Amelia Slater” on it.
Amelia sat at her desk in the
dimly lit office shuffling through some papers, but she was unnerved and having
trouble concentrating. She took a drag on her cigarette before placing it
on the rim of the ash tray. The rising smoke appeared blue as it swirled lazily
into the air.
She suddenly stopped, thinking she
heard a sound. After intently listening for a few moments, Amelia concluded her
imagination was playing tricks on her. She turned her attention back to the
items on her desk but was interrupted again by a prolonged squeak of the outer
office door opening.

San Francisco Nights written by Greg
Messel continues with another great Sam Slater action story. After
having read all these books all I can say is “WOW”. Mr. Messel
certainly has a great love for writing these books and I applaud him
for doing so. Using San Francisco for a back drop certainly is one of
the things that make his stories so much fun to read. I hope that he
continues to write these great stories and that I will have the honor
to read the next one when it comes out. Do yourself a favor and get
hold of this book, you will be happy that you did. Keep them coming
Greg!!!!
