Title: California roll
First published: 1985
Description: New Left detective Moses Wine, having seen his 70's political ideals retreat from the mainstream, picks up a case and a needed income source working in Silicon Valley for a thinly disguised Wozniak. Tightly plotted and a good portrayal of the Reagan Era. The Jewish Moses Wine has a similar sense of humor to the one shown on this website, and there are many examples of it. Not a laugh out loud book but Wine has a strong personality and is interesting to read. There are 11 books in this series and we watch Wine age and change in different historical periods.
