J.D. Rhoades shifts from modern-day North Carolina to 1870s San Francisco with the L.D. Cade books. The Killing Look introduces Cade in a city where gold rush wealth has created a wild mix of ambition, corruption, and danger. The follow-up, The Golden Mountain, continues in the same setting.

The historical San Francisco backdrop gives Rhoades room to explore the same themes of violence and justice that run through his contemporary crime fiction, just with different weapons and social rules. These books have the same lean, punchy style as his Jack Keller novels.
