Synopsis
Introduced by Alyson, in 1996 the seven-book Henry Rios mystery series ends with the publication of Rag & Bone. Nava's brilliant story-telling has earned comparisons to Dashiell Hammett and Raymond Chandler, and has won four Lambda Literary Awards. As the New York Times Book Review put it, "Nava is one of the best." Alyson is proud to have been part of the Henry Rios series, and congratulates Michael Nava on his success.
Michael Nava is the author of The Little Death, Goldenboy, Howtown, The Hidden Law, The Death of Friends, The Burning Plain, and the soon to be released Rag and Bone. He is, as he puts it "a writer who practices law," with a private practice in San Francisco.

About the Author
Michael Nava is the author of seven Henry Rios novels, five of which (Goldenboy, Howtown, The Hidden Law, The Death of Friends, and Rag and Bone) have been Lambda Literary Award winners. He is an attorney in private practice in San Francisco.
From Publishers Weekly
This murder mystery about a gay public defender in the San Francisco area is distinguished by good writing and by skillful adaptation of the genre's traditions. Lawyer Henry Rios's loyalty to wealthy wastrel Hugh Paris, with whom he once had a brief affair, strongly recalls the male bonding in Raymond Chandler's classic The Long Goodbye. In both there is a sense of the protagonist as a lost soul trying to justify another person's existence and thereby his own. Through legal documents as much as police work, Rios tracks the murder's clues back to Hugh's family and its conflicts between old money and opportunists, both so greedy and eager to control the family fortune that they will sanction any form of legal trickery, corruption, even murder. Particularly striking is Nava's vision of the legal system as a true instrument of justiceignoring distinctions of position, wealth or sexual preference.
