OAKLAND, Calif., Dec. 4, 2002 (PRIMEZONE) -- "Defining Moment" (now available through 1stBooks Library), by James. C. Malcolm, is a murder mystery set in San Francisco in the early 1920's. With his unique style of writing and integrity to the details, Malcolm sets his story in the intriguing momentum of the Roaring Twenties and engages each reader into this fascinating world of excess and power.
A married traveling redwood lumber salesman is found shot to death along with his love in her apartment. Was it a double suicide, her husband, his wife, a striking salesman, or was it an unknown person? Could it be a striking lumberman from the forest?
James C. Malcolm is a retired County Health Officer. He was born and raised in San Francisco where he attended the University of San Francisco for three years. He graduated from Saint Louis University School of Medicine and later spent a year at Johns Hopkins School of Public Health.
After he retired, he built a forty-seven-foot sailboat and sailed her for seven years, going to the Caribbean, across the Atlantic to Europe, back to the Caribbean and sold her in Florida. He returned to his home high up in the Oakland hills where he has a sweeping view of the San Francisco Bay, the Golden Gate and the Pacific Ocean.
Except for his West Highland White Terrier, he lives alone.
