NTRODUCING THE NEW SERIES INSIDEBOOKS

Are you curious by nature? Do people fascinate you? Do you find yourself migrating to the History and Travel channels on television, wondering what the staff inside the White House or Scotland Yard or the Vatican would tell you if only they could? What is it really like inside the boardroom, the Beltway, or the magical city of Bangkok?

Insidebooks.net introduces a new series of fiction titles where the settings, so often the object of our curiosity, are not incidental to the plot; they are the very backbone of it.

Former White House correspondent David Jensen turns his reportorial skills on those interesting places we wish we knew more about. He begins by dissecting the lore and peeling away the folktales of a time and place like no other in American history: San Francisco in the 1890s.

Step inside...Take a look...Begin a journey inside places you’ve only wondered about...

A short century ago, San Francisco is the center of world attention. It is the 1890s, and inside the Barbary Coast, next to Chinatown, medicine is at war - between regular doctors like young Jack Pitman and quacks like Pierre Louthan.
David Jensen looks deep inside the Barbary Coast to present one of the most riveting and thoroughly researched historical novels ever written. It is the story of fascinating historical figures, romance and conflict, opium dens and tong wars, heroic attempts to save a king from death, the advent of X-rays, war in the Philippines, bubonic plague, and the great earthquake and fire of 1906.
