Publisher's summary

What happens when San Francisco’s handsome Mayor Anthony Podesta is faced with the harsh reality of being termed out of the office and what if Jonathan Chalmers offers him a job as California’s Lieutenant Governor?

When the political cost for his survival is announced, Anthony is aghast at the price he’s being asked to pay for a position of such insignificance. Anthony knew Chalmers’ diabolical plan was nothing less than baffling to the senses since the city would have to find another source of water.

Mayor Anthony Podesta is keenly aware there will be a fight when he announces the restoration of the Hetch Hetchy Valley. The fight will commence with the General Manager of the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission.

What Anthony does not know from past experience is the depth of Chalmers’ new wave of unprincipled filches. The irony to Anthony is Chalmers et al. could make far greater fortunes elsewhere without the problems associated with Hetch Hetchy hence raising the obvious question of why.

Was Anthony’s foreboding tumult even worth the dreary uninspiring job as Lieutenant Governor of California, where the only thing he has to look forward to is opening the morning paper and seeking the governor’s name in the obituaries? Apparently, the risk-reward is acceptable to our protagonist who climbs aboard Chalmers’ roller-coaster and braces himself for the bodies which begin to amass in what euphemistically becomes The Mayor’s Dead.

As the corpses of the deceased are amassed, doubt begins to mount across town at the Hall of Justice in the homicide bureau, where Mayor Anthony’s fiancé and police Inspector Jane St. Claire is employed as a detective.

The Mayor’s Dead
is a gripping thriller comprised of early San Francisco and California historical events coupled with the dark side of Catholicism, the SFPD, and the netherworld.
