In January 1978, Ross Macdonald wrote, "Fred Zackel's first novel reminds me of the young Dashiell Hammett's work, not because it is an imitation, but because it is not. It is a powerful and original book made from the lives and language of the people who live in San Francisco today."

CINDERELLA AFTER MIDNIGHT. Don't know about the book, but what a great title!
Rich, I recommend reading Mr. Zackel's excerpt at BTAP and then there's a good chance you will snag the book. A modern classic.
These look perfect for a mystery fan whose birthday I need to buy for.

Paul, Perfecto indeed.
Damn, now you have me getting another book to read!
You won't be disappointed and the good news is the prices in Kindle are reasonably priced.
