Houston, Texas, U.S.A.: Arte Publico Pr, 1995. 1st ed. Fine in dust jacket. Author's second mystery featuring the return of Chicana detective Gloria Damasco. "...Upon learning that Sonny Mares, an old friend and fellow activist in the United Farmworkers Strike and grape boycott of 1973, has committed suicide, Damasco is immediately suspicious-especially when she and a fellow investigator (also a former activist) go to Sonny's apartment and discover a videotape of a pesticide tank being blown up-and a bunch of grapes. Gloria, who struggles with the mixed blessing of being able to foresee the future, is also plagued by dreams of a young woman in trouble. As two other friends from the grape-boycott days disappear and a young woman who was raped and suffered pesticide poisoning resurfaces after many years, it becomes clear that a time of reckoning with the past is at hand. Corpi writes convincingly about Gloria's attempts to interpret her visions and does a fine job depicting decent…

" In a quick-paced sequel to The Maya Stone Murders , New Orleans PI and Vietnam vet Micah Dunn is waiting for a client named Julia Morvant at the airport when her plane explodes; traces of a bomb are found in the wreckage.

Her roommate says that Morvant was a high-priced call girl and reports that the last thing Morvant said to her was that she would "make Marc Antony look like a piker." Armed with this useless clue, Dunn is trying to piece Morvant's life together when a Vietnam buddy, now working for a shadowy Pentagon outfit, recruits him to help track down a killer-for-hire named Rivas, believed responsible for the bombing as well as a murder attempt on a congressman and his wife.…
