Publisher Description The 170-year history of the San Francisco Bay Area told through its crimes and how they intertwine with the citys art, music, and politicsIn The Murders That Made Us, the story of the San Francisco Bay Area unfolds through its most violent and depraved acts. From the citys earliest days, where vigilantes hung perps from buildings and newspaper publishers shot it out on Market Street, to the Zodiac Killer and the kidnapping of Patty Hearst, crime has made the people of San Francisco who they are. Murder and mayhem are intertwined with the citys art, music, and politics. The Great 1906 Earthquake that burned down the old Barbary Coast shook a city that was already teetering on the brink of a massive prostitution scandal.

With each tale of true crime, The Murders That Made Us will take you from the violence that began in the original Gold Rush into the brutal displacement of todays techie ruination.
