Join us for a free public forum featuring prize-winning writer Duffy Jennings, known for his work at the San Francisco Chronicle during the eventful 1970s. His coverage included major events such as the City Hall assassinations of Mayor George Moscone and Supervisor Harvey Milk, the Patty Hearst kidnapping, and the Zodiac and Zebra serial murders. Duffy will delve into his career and discuss his latest book, "SFPD Homicide Inspector Frank Falzon: 5-Henry-7," which he co-authored with Falzon.
Throughout his 22-year tenure as a San Francisco homicide inspector, Frank Falzon delved into over 300 murder cases under the radio call sign 5-Henry-7. The "5" represented the Inspectors Bureau, "Henry" indicated Homicide, and "7" was Falzon's inspector number. Discover firsthand accounts of Falzon's high-profile cases as Duffy Jennings recounts their collaboration in a memoir.
