I'm the author of The Haight Mystery Series -- whodunnits set in San Francisco in the 1960s. I love books in general and crime fiction in particular. Happily married father of two. Free prequel available at petermoreira.com.

I love to discuss books in general and crime fiction in particular.
My own books are The Haight Mystery Series -- whodunnits set in San Francisco in the 1960s.
My greatest joy: my wife and kids.
I'm a die-hard 49ers fan, love classic rock and spend a lot of time in the U.K.
Update on Book 6 of The Haight Mystery Series: I'm halfway through the first draft and have figured out just about everything . . . except the title. Check out my blog for the latest on my work-in-progress. shorturl.at/VnrRq

#KindleUnlimited readers have about a month left to read THE HAIGHT. In late February, I’ll remove it from the service for a while. The thriller will still be on Amazon. See why readers call the Haight Mystery novels “excellent,” “fabulous,” and “almost perfect.”

With The Trident in Sausalito closing, the Bay Area has lost a great hippie-era landmark. I used it in CODE 3 ON BUENA VISTA when Spracklin and Marie dined there. Read my blog: shorturl.at/WRspm #SanFrancisco #hippie #sixtiesmusic

Sydney Graves Stands Out in Recent Batch of Thrillers — Peter Moreira - Author of The Haight Mystery Series
My reading from the final quarter of 2025 includes more British thrillers than earlier in the year. And an award-winning literary novelist makes a bold entry into the crime genre.

The Proving Ground is a solid novel, strengthened by the most under-appreciated aspect of Michael Connelly’s writing — his research.
