Paul Drexler is Ingleside’s resident crime expert.
Drexler, an author and co-founder of the Crooks Tour of San Francisco, hails from Western Massachusetts, where his interest in crime began in the 1950s after his aunt gave him a copy of “Gang Rule In New York: The Story of a Lawless Era.” The interest intensified after his uncle’s car was stolen and used in a gangland killing in Weehawken, New Jersey, around that same time.
