| Publisher Description: Turn-of-the-century San Francisco detective Arthur T. McQuaide was a force to be reckoned with. A child of Irish immigrants, McQuaide inherited a city hell-bent on its own destruction. His experiences with the city's police force range from the tragic earthquake of 1906 to the brutal Chinatown Tong Wars. Through contemporary newspapers and other period documents the life of Arthur McQuaide, a true lawman at the dawn of a new era, is revealed at long last. |
