Join us at 10am (yes 10am) on November 14th when retired SFPD Inspector Frank Falzon and former SF Chronicle reporter Duffy Jennings share the real detective work behind Frank's illustrious 22-year career that included more than 300 murder cases.
Falzon investigated the Zebra murders, Chol Soo Lee and the Chinatown gang murder, and the execution-style killing of prison reformer Popeye Jackson. More famously he was the lead inspector in the 1978 assassinations of San Francisco Mayor George Moscone and Supervisor Harvey Milk. And in 1985 Falzon and his partner were the first to identify Richard Ramirez as the Night Stalker serial killer, resulting in his capture within 48 hours.
Many of Frank's cases have since been reflected in numerous articles, books and movies. Duffy and Frank have since teamed up to release Falzon’s new memoir, San Francisco Homicide Inspector 5-Henry-7, which highlights his high-profile cases and the backstory of how his youth, his father’s death at a young age, and his early years as a patrolman shaped his career.
You will also have the opportunity to purchase a signed copy of the book.
Light breakfast, pastries and coffee to be served.
Doors open 10am; speakers start at 10:30am
