Lila Blake writes San Francisco neighborhood mysteries about old houses, foggy stairways, found family, and the secrets people keep when a place begins to change.

Her Telegraph Hill Mysteries begin with The Filbert Steps, a literary cozy mystery featuring Vivian Salvatore, a 52-year-old former teacher rebuilding her life after divorce. When Vivian finds a body on one of San Francisco’s most beautiful stairways, she is pulled into a death the neighborhood would rather explain away.

Lila’s books are for readers who love mysteries with a strong sense of place, midlife women sleuths, fair-play puzzles, local history, coffee shops, complicated communities, old houses, neighborhood gossip, and heart.
