In Shadow Boxer, Billy Nichols is back on the beat for the San Francisco Inquirer. But his problems are hardly behind him. A man's in jail, accused of murder. But did he do it? By aiding a beguiling woman, Billy stumbles on evidence that could exonerate the defendant, who only months before was one of the town's top fight promoters. One big problem - the victim was Billy's secret lover, and he has no desire to help set her killer free

Set in San Francisco by a native San Franciscan. I’ll check it out, perhaps starting with the first book in the series called The Distance.
