Alive in Necropolis by Doug Dorst is the selection for Dorst’s thriller, set in the city of San Francisco and the cemeteries of Colma, is one part crime novel, one part ghost story, tinged with humor and heart. Among many colorful characters, the book features a rookie Colma cop navigating a world of both the dead and alive, and a San Francisco teen, struggling with his own version of reality. “Like Dashiell Hammett, Dorst conveys a hard-bitten love of the physical San Francisco, the fog-swallowed town, the sun after rain, the mineshaft drops in temperature….The fiction seems to possess, and be possessed by, its beloved Bay.” - New York Times Book Review Read Alive in Necropolis over the summer to get ready for programs and events in September and October 2009!
