Book 1
The Big Fix
Moses Wine thought he had put his interest in politics far behind him when he became a Los Angeles-based private detective.
Sure, he’d once been an activist, but that had been during the Sixties. A lifetime ago…or so it seemed, before Lila Shea showed up on his doorstep. Lila was a woman who could have been the love of his life…had they remained together after their last night of passion in 1967.
Nevertheless, she’s back, and with a job for him; locate the chairman of the Free Amerika Party and convince him to end the smear campaign he’s waged against her employer, Senator Miles Hawthorne, who’s running for the presidency. But when Lila later turns up dead, politics become the last thing on Moses’ mind…
Wild Turkey
Waist-deep in questions that seem to have no answers, Moses must find a way to solve the unsolvable without further weakening the frail relationship he has with his two sons . . . or being portrayed as a jerk in a national magazine.
Peking Duck
A guided tour of the People’s Republic, Aunt Sonya had said: U.S.-China Friendship Study Tour Number Five, arranged by the China Friendship Society, an organization in which she was involved. Why “not” get away from it all?
California Roll
The opportunity suddenly arises for Moses to become head of security at the Tulip Computer Corporation. But after one murder, he soon discovers there’s more to the ins and outs of life in Silicon valley than corporate in-fighting.
The straight man
Moses Wine is bored and depressed. Unfortunately, his shrink’s idea of helping him is to get him involved in a case. One member of the country’s most popular comedy team has jumped off a roof to his death.
Raising the Dead
Now L.A.’s hippest detective will tangle with a fanatic Jewish religious leader with a decidedly unkosher past, a Southern-fried TV evangelist hell-bent on personally starting Armageddon, and a dangerously devout young activist who could be a messiah.
The Lost Coast
Times have certainly changed for Moses Wine. He’s gone from a cheap detective to a respected private investigator and he should be on top of the world. But he’s not, and to make things worse, a shadow of of his radical days has come back to haunt him.
Director's Cut
A quarter of a century after he first appeared in the now-classic “The Big Fix,” Moses Wine remains a private investigator par excellence. Still a Berkeley radical at heart, Moses is now thoroughly chastened by the events that have led to the war.
