Review
Political thrillers have always been a conservative lot: the status quo comes under attack and is saved by an iconoclastic hero who brings order back to the body politic. In Agnes Bushell's The Enumerator, things are a little different. Set in San Francisco during the height of the AIDS crisis, it spins a brooding tale of political corruption, the closet, sex, and murder. Here the "enumerator" is a health official who collects information about people's sexual habits in an effort to track AIDS infections. But too much information is a dangerous thing, and when some "people in power" discover that the sexual habits the enumerator collected included information on them, murder, not AIDS, becomes the issue. The Enumerator has wit and a taut style that makes it a squirm-in-your-seat read.
