Last Night in San Francisco

“Rigorously reported, well written, and difficult to put down. It’s a memorable depiction of the seamy side of Silicon Valley.” — Publishers Weekly

“An in-depth exploration of one of the most notorious homicide cases in the city’s recent history: the mysterious 2023 stabbing death of tech executive Bob Lee. Based on two years of reporting, this book not only sheds light on the case’s fascinating trial, but illuminates the lurid underside of San Francisco’s new Gilded Age.” — Gary Kamiya, author of Cool Gray City of Love: 49 Views of San Francisco and Spirits of San Francisco: Voyages Through the Unknown City

“Scott Alan Lucas’s deep dive into the 2023 murder of tech mogul Bob Lee is part anthropological study, part true-crime mystery novel, and all fascination. He fills in the blanks that everyone wanted to know about this nationally notorious killing, uncovering both salacious and unexpectedly mundane details through meticulous research, while also painting a searingly full picture of the tech world of San Francisco in all its myths and realities. It all makes for an absolutely terrific read.” — Kevin Fagan, author of The Lost and the Found: A True Story of Homelessness, Found Family and Second Chances
