I just finished Tim Hallinan'sThe Bone Polisher (Simeon Grist Mystery). I am always blown away by Tim's ability to tell a story and get you so involved in the culture and background of the story that you almost forget about the mystery part.The Bone Polisher takes you back to a time when the world of the homosexual was hidden and fraught with danger.  A gay guy dies.  Does anyone care?  Yes, all the gays he's helped are more than willing to help our hero battle police prejudice and find the killer.  You can tell how much the world has changed when you read it. I think that's part of what he's saying.The Bone Polisher is a fine read.  Anyone who loves mystery with a lot of culture thrown in will love this book.
