From the inside flap:The side of San Francisco life that tourists aren't shown and romantics pretend doesn't exist makes a vivid setting for this taut, tense and searching novel. When a child is raped, her father. Quinn Dunaway, a union official, assumes that her attacker will be prosecuted. The DA decides otherwise, and the police sympathetic to Dunaway, privately signal that he can go after the man himself. As the pace quickens, terror mounts and the violence accelerates. The poignancy of Dunaway's situation, his relationship with his wife and child and with his brilliant, doomed drug-addicted sister, are brought into sharpest focus.
