"A sweeping tale that offers lessons from the not-so-distant past." -Kirkus Reviews

"Doll masterfully reveals what lies just below the surface of every human soul." -Judge Paul Bernal, official historian of the City of San Jose

"Cinematic in its scope, St. James Park is a movie waiting to be made." -Joe Talbot, director of The Last Black Man in San Francisco (2019)

In a time when department stores ruled downtowns, a prominent store heir is kidnapped in 1933 under suspicious circumstances, and Hoover's Bureau of Investigation sends cynical agent Louis Cooper to investigate.

Cooper discovers that this crime is only a prelude to a dangerous play by the local power structure to expand control amid spiraling economic disruption, labor unrest, and anti-immigrant racism.

As Cooper unravels long-standing but shifting alliances of business leaders, city officials, and mobsters, he learns who is behind the kidnapping and why-but not in time to prevent a raging mob bent on vengeance.
