Review
"In the half-light, she too seemed almost like a 20-year-old girl, the one I had first seen being hoisted in a wicker basket by war protesters into the occupied Berkeley Administration Building while the crowd applauded both her guts and her beauty. 'I hate time,' I said." That's Moses Wine, the famed hippy detective (remember Richard Dreyfus in The Big Fix?), reunited with his ex-wife as they try to help their son evade a trap set by over-the-top ecologists, feds, and nasty business types. The whole book has the sweet, sad, slightly sappy tone of that quote--"nostalgia leavened with honesty"--and Roger Simon's topnotch writing and plotting skills haven't lost many steps.
Review
- "Roger Simon remains the shining hope in a field of endeavor glutted by mediocrity and boring repetition--the only mystery writer of his generation worthy to be placed alongside Ross Macdonald on the shelf."

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. Having put aside his own radical lifestyle, if not his values, Moses now runs a lucrative P.I. firm in L.A. with a roster of corporate clients. He has a gorgeous Chinese-American girlfriend and unlimited access to courtside seats at Lakers games. His life seems idyllic and, he realizes, somewhat hollow. That hollowness is soon filled by news that the police are looking for his college-age son, Simon, who belongs to a militant ecological group in Northern California and who is suspected of booby-trapping a redwood tree that killed a logger. Moses drops everything and heads up to redwood country with his ex-wife, Suzanne, with whom he has hardly spoken since their none-too-amicable parting years before. Events escalate on all fronts. Moses and Suzanne, lost in guilty reminiscences, rekindle their romance just as the skirmishes between the loggers and Simon's "tree-hugging" group erupt into all-out war, including a bombing in which Simon is implicated. With his career, his love life, and Simon's future on the line, Moses' search for his son, and his quest to prove his innocence, become matters of life and death.
