“Duffy Jennings wrote more than 500 stories for the San Francisco Chronicle, but he may have saved the best one — his own — for last. Written with admirable skill and moral clarity, his memoir reveals what it was like to cover a city gripped by the Zodiac and Zebra killings, Jonestown, the Moscone-Milk assassinations, and the Dan White trial. But this isn’t only a sharp, vivid snapshot of a city in crisis. It’s also a family saga that defies stereotypes at every turn.”

“As a former writer and editor at Rolling Stone, and a former colleague of Duffy Jennings at the SF Chronicle, I write to praise 5-Henry-7, the story of the fabled Frank Falzon. We are fortunate to have had him in the police department—and in the city—during those tumultuous times. Duffy Jennings as his co-writer did a great job reflecting Frank’s personality, his voice, his humility, his character, and his passions.”

Ben Fong-Torres, Journalist
