Calculated risk
A gay man's murder leads Hastings to a blackmail plotCharles Hardaway climbs the hill to his house, immediately missing the bright lights and conversation of the bar and dreading the return to his lover, who is slowly dying of AIDS. But Hardaway's self-pity is interrupted by a pipe-wielding stranger, who crushes his skull before slipping away. It's nighttime in the Castro, and another gay man has been sent to his grave.Homicide lieutenant Frank Hastings is tempted to write the killing off as another heinous instance of gay-bashing, but witnesses say the killer was alone, and seemed to know the victim. Digging into Hardaway's past, Hastings finds evidence that he was a blackmailer who pushed one of his targets to the breaking point. In a neighborhood where disease and hatred claim more and more lives every day, it seems one man has been done in by plain old-fashioned greed.

The angry Buddhist
A dissection of the American way of life in all its sordid glory. Set in the California desert, the novel lives at the intersection of the Old Testament and Elmore Leonard. A fiercely contested congressional election is in progress. The wily incumbent, Randall Duke, is unburdened by ethical considerations and his opponent, Mary Swain, is a sexy and well-financed newcomer who does not have a firm grip on American history or elemental economics. This is the ideal setting and cast of characters for Seth Greenland, one of America's finest satirists. The Angry Buddhist convincingly explores mendacity in its modern American forms: contemporary politics, middle class sexual more, the criminal justice system, and the limits and cost of filial love--Cover p. [4].
