Los Angeles, San Francisco… That Is the Question…

March 30, 2012

A while ago, I got this letter from Suzanne asking for help in identifying an author who writes…. well, just let me post what Suzanne said:

“Hope I can get some help from someone…I cannot remember the name of the author or the main character in a police procedural series that I read a lot of, several years ago. I think the location was Los Angeles (or possibly) San Francisco. (Yes, my memory is a total blank on these things.) The main character is a white police detective with a black Jewish partner named “Abe”. The main character is married a second time to “ Fran” who is the sister of his business partner who owns a bar. Abe is into his second marriage after losing his first wife to cancer.

I know that this doesn’t fit the “cozy” category, but if anyone can give me some help with this I would be forever grateful. This is driving me nuts!!!

Thanks,
Suzanne”

So, again I am asking for your help. If you think you might know the name of the author who writes these mysteries, please post a comment.

Thank you!

    Google, don’t fail me now! I tried a google search with the details you asked about: came up with this: John Lescroart’s Dismas Hardy Abe Glitsky Series.

    maybe???

      Thank you, Susie, for the information. I agree with Maria, I had no clue as to whom it was, and I clearly haven’t done too well honing my Google-ing skills.

    Susie, that made me laugh (Google, don’t fail me now!) I hope you’re right because I don’t have a clue!

    That is correct and the series is good.

    Now the question is–was this the series Suzanne was looking for? Hope so! Ricky seems confident 🙂 (And Danna and Maria, I’ve had to hone my google skills as a history instructor, for good reasons like checking facts and finding images for my students, and for bad reasons like seeing if my students were–ahem–“borrowing” a little too much from certain sources). Glad I could use my google skills for good! 🙂

      Susie, I think that between you and Ricky, we will just have to believe you came up with the correct answer.

      As for students who “borrow” too much information from outside sources>>> This whole “Google” think makes it a lot easier than it used to be.
