The city and its Bay Area can stand proudly with Paris, London, and New York in the splendor of its misdeeds -- murders that have suspense, horror, audacity, and flair. The homicides chronicled in Murders by the Bay, have been selected because a convergence of personality, circumstance, character, and geography makes them peculiarly San Franciscan. Each of these crimes illustrates an historic importance, each has impacted its times -- either in the course or application of the law or in the manner in which the affair revealed a shortcoming in society. |
