John Levitt - Unleashed

“That song had five chords,” I pointed out.

“Same difference. They sucked. Except for the drummer. I have to admit it-he’s out of this world.”

“You have no idea,” I said.

John Levitt grew up in New York City. After a stint at the University of Chicago, he traveled around the country and ended up running light shows for bands in San Francisco. Eventually, he moved to the Wasatch Mountains and worked at a ski lodge in Alta, Utah. After a number of years as a ski bum, he joined the Salt Lake City Police Department, where for eight years he worked as a patrol officer and later as an investigator. His experiences on the job formed the background for two mystery novels, Carnivores and Ten of Swords . For the last few years, he has split his time between Alta, where he manages the Alta Lodge, and San Francisco. When he’s not working or writing, he plays guitar with the SF rock band The Procrastinistas and also plays the occasional jazz gig. He owns no dogs, although his girlfriend now has four.

He is currently at work on the fourth book in the Dog Days series. You can visit him on the Web at www.jlevitt.com.
