Description:
N.Y.: Mysterious Press, 1992. 1st ed. Fine in dust jacket. "This fourth Vic Daniel mystery by Canadian expatriate Pierce is the U.S. hardcover debut of this laconic and grumbling, brutally funny, 6 7 Southern California detective. A master of off-center characterization and the oddball narrative view, Pierce conjures up low-rent coastal locales filled with Vietnamese restaurants, with strains of poor-gumshoe blues in the background. Early cases involve hiking across town to establish an alibi for a client and helping an aspiring basketball star hide a point-shaving past. The action picks up when a boyhood chum in a Mexican jail pleads for help. Vic, his multi-purpose gofer, punkette/poet Sara Silvetti, and the ace conman Benny the Boy pack their bags, their Montezuma's Revenge medicine and their fake passports and head south. Madcap storytelling and nutso types whose smart mouths run in overdrive make up for dated aspects of the five-year-old plot: riffs on Apple II computers and Valley…

A BARRY AWARD Nominee. "Hollywood homicide detective Hieronymous (Harry) Bosch (Trunk Music, 1996, etc.) is up to his very stiff neck in politics, police corruption and racial tension. The echo of the Rodney King case is almost deafening when Howard Elias, an African American lawyer famous for suing the LAPD for racially motivated brutality, is shot dead on the short train run up a steep hill in downtown L.A. known as Angels Flight. Bosch and his team?a black woman named Kizmin Rider and a black man named Jerry Edgar?are assigned the highly sensitive case. Although Bosch sniffs racial and departmental political hokum among the brass, he doggedly focuses on finding the killer, knowing that cops will be among the suspects. It all smells even worse when Bosch discovers signs of evidence tampering by…

Dr. Alex Delaware The child psychologist is on an intricately plotted, murder-strewn course that started 20 years earlier when he was on staff at a Los Angeles children's hospital. Recently, Alex has become the target of ominous threats: weird laughter over the phone, a fish from his pond cruelly skewered, a tape of a child's voice repeating the words "bad love . " Initially he ties the threats to his work with two young sisters whose father, in prison for the murder of their mother, is claiming visitation rights. But Alex also remembers the phrase "bad love" was used by a child psychiatrist honored at a 1979 symposium he cosponsored at the hospital. A file search by his LAPD pal Milo Sturgis connects the phrase to two LA murders five and three years ago; inquiries by Alex reveal a surprisingly high death rate…

Easy must grab at the $400 he's offered to locate Elizabeth Eady, a missing housekeeper who several years and a few lifetimes away was "Black Betty," a sensual presence on the Houston streets where he grew up.
