In his early days as a struggling writer, Jack London is no stranger to crime. When the owner of a Barbary Coast saloon is killed--just after asking Jack to look into a threat to his establishement--Jack signs on with the Saloon Owners Association to investigate. But when the trail leads to a second murder, and lawman Wyatt Earp appears with an interest in the case, Jack wonders if he's in over his head. Original.
