Murders, mystery and marijuana in present day San Francisco, with ties to the Haight-Ashbury past.

Financial ruin threatens longtime stoner and historian-turned-journalist Ed Rosenberg. He and his wife, Julie, victims of newspapers’ decline, have just been fired from the San Francisco Foghorn.

Scrambling for work, Ed lands a gig researching the hippie Haight-Ashbury for a museum exhibit sponsored by a tech billionaire whose birth mother was a small-time marijuana dealer shot to death in Golden Gate Park in 1968, a killing never solved. Meanwhile, Julie is hired as media liaison for mayoral candidate Dave Kirsch, a former pot dealer and author of best-selling guides to growing weed. Then Kirsch is murdered in Golden Gate Park. His death costs Julie her job and returns the couple to the brink of financial disaster.

Ed’s research about the hippie Haight-Ashbury’s tie-dyed past vividly illuminates that era. The derivation of “psychedelic”? How the Grateful Dead and Jefferson Airplane got their names? All that and more in Killer Weed. Ed’s investigation also introduces him to a rogue’s gallery of characters—a hairdresser, florist, laundromat operator, and real estate mogul— who, he realizes, may have been involved in the ex-dealer’s murder. Then someone starts shooting at him.

The pages turn quickly and San Francisco—both then and now— comes alive. Killer Weed features remarkably true-to-life characters, and a compelling, nuanced portrait of a marriage under duress. Their careers upended, Ed and Julie feel anxious and stressed—and both use drugs to cope. He smokes more weed, which she doesn’t like, and she drinks more alcohol, which he can’t stand. Will the marriage survive?

Will she ever forgive them for abandoning her? Will they ever be able to unveil her secrets? Where was she for all those years? This is story of a girl who was abandoned by her brothers when she was seven. Now, after 9 years, her brothers brought her back home. How will she deal with them, simultaneously dealing with the terrors that haunt her every night? Sneak Peak- Once we were out, I stopped and turned to face my blood relatives and said, "Okay, now that I am out you don't need to act anymore. Now, you guys can go back to your house and pretend that this never happened. I will go to my house and will make sure that we will not cross each other's path, even by accident." I was about to turn back when Ezekiel held my elbow, stopping me on my track. I immediately snatched my hand back glaring at him and said, "Do not ever touch me again." His eyes showed an emotion of hurt that I am sure I read incorrectly because one thing that Kensington brothers are incapable of was getting hurt by any outsider. And that was what I was. An outsider. Sensing the tension in the atmosphere Aldric took it upon himself to say whatever his brother was about to. "You are going with us." He spoke. One thing about Aldric Kensington was that once he has made his mind, there is nothing in this world that can change his decision. This is the very quality of his that made my life a living nightmare, and this is exactly why I hate him more than any of my brothers. "Let's go Athaliah," Ezekiel said this time. That name. No one has called me by that name in six years. "My name is Zahra," I corrected and continued, "And I am not going with you." #1 in running on 2/2/25 #1 in babysister on 15/12/24 #1 in brothersconflict on 27/12/24 #2 in abandoned #2 in broken #2 in abusing #2 in pastabuse #2 in nightterror #4 in olderbrother #3 in brokenfamily #5 in mafiaprincess #9 in siblings #34 in siblingrivalry #34 in littlesister #44 in ptsd #51 in misunderstood #59 in mafia
