Description
For readers of Erik Larson's historical narratives and character-rich nonfiction, the first biography of the real-life Tom Sawyer, told through the dramatic account of Sawyer's involvement in the hunt for a serial arsonist on the loose in early 1850s San Francisco
By the author of the classic San Francisco true-crime bestseller Zodiac (Graysmith was portrayed in the film by Jake Gyllenhaal), Black Fire interweaves the fascinating biography of the little-known real-life Tom Sawyer, a volunteer fireman, customs inspector, marine engineer, and poker buddy of then San Francisco Call reporter Mark Twain, and a gripping account of the mysterious fires that baptized one of the modern world's favorite cities.
