The Lost Coast - Softcover

Vacations in Lake Tahoe, elegant meals, a life filled with Hollywood A-list clients...private investigator Moses Wine has come a long way since his days as a '60s radical. Although he has a loving and sensitive girlfriend, Wine feels as though he's lost touch with his counter-culture roots and is living the kind of bourgeois life he once reviled.In THE LOST COAST, Wine's '60s radical days at last come back to haunt him. His handsome college-age son, a mirror of his father's lapsed idealism, has been accused of the murder of a logger in Northern California. Has a beautiful and mysterious radical pushed his son beyond the breaking point or are there other forces at work? Is his son really a murderer?Forced to confront his own failings, Wine must ally himself with his hostile ex-wife in a frantic quest to save the most precious thing in their world -- their son's freedom.Laced with Roger L. Simon's observant wit, the romance of a life on the run and not-so-casual sex, this mystery shows why the Los Angeles Times has called Moses Wine, "a force to reckon with and to read with pleasure."
