Book Description
Nuclear disaster, crime, climate change and crumbling borders have reduced the United States in 2092 to a disorganized dystopia. What was once Los Angeles is now a vague area known as the Basin Security Zone where economic activity is controlled by The Corporation. Human beings are genetically engineered, there has been a Time of Rain, and animals are being cloned and spliced. Detective Sergeant Keiko Nomura, an expert on genetics and holographic investigation is sent to the Palos Verdes Genetics Research Lab to examine the dismembered body of a Russian geneticist named Kamenev. While there, Keiko is interrupted by Quinn, a mysterious corporate security expert. After a period of friction, the two agree to jointly investigate the death of the scientist, especially when another Russian scientist named Lara Ulyanov is found dead in her Benedict Canyon Island Biotech Lab. The duo are puzzled by a huge, holographic bee hive with an encoded software data slab that was being kept by Kamenev. It appears that Kamenev was attached by a cloned animal. But was he? And, what happens when Nomura and Quinn find themselves personally attracted to one another? Gaylord Dold was born in Kansas and raised in southern California during the good old days. He has been a book publisher, a criminal defense attorney and a professional writer for many years.

Pages : 198
Book Description
"Already he had counted sixteen soldiers, ten beige-clad paratroopers sleeping under a big umbrella tree where there was some shade. On the taxi ride away from Brazzaville, along the dusty road where the plateau broke down to brown grassless hills, he had see maybe six soldiers marching wearily, looking sad-eyed and stoned on bungi, crazy from the canopy of unrelieved sun. Mostly he felt amazed and a little lucky to be in Africa, but just then he felt afraid, as if a little bubble of balance in the middle of his head had suddenly been tilted to one side, and the soldiers knew it." Set in Zaire and the Republic of Congo, The World Beat evokes modern Africa with a realism that few writers achieve. At loose ends, series hero Roberts takes an assignment from Lloyds of London to deliver ransom for Elyse Revelle, a Belgian mining company doctor who has been kidnapped, presumably be separatists or terrorists. Together with a Zairian employee of the company, Roberts undertakes an arduous river journey to make contact with the kidnappers at the doctor’s clinic in the jungle. This journey, with its sights, sounds, and smells of Africa, is both metaphor and actuality. Roberts falls seriously ill and the trip becomes a struggle to head off forces that are opposed to the mission, to find and pay off the kidnappers, and to elude death from disease or assassination. Like the novels of Graham Greene, The World Beat combines gripping action themes of political commitment, moral responsibility and human violence.

Book Description
The hypnotic and gritty ninth Mitch Roberts Crime Novel. "Roberts lay in the dark, his mind running clocklike in nearly perfect and meaningless circles. On the floor beside his single bed was a leather suitcase bound by three leather straps, secured with a beautiful brass lock. He had packed the night before, five pairs of jeans, some hiking and fishing shorts, a pair of moccasins, one suit and a single dress shirt, assorted socks and underwear, two ties, now slightly soiled, his shaving kit and utilities, several paper novels, including most of Beckett in Pan editions, a Glock 9mm pistol stripped into six sections, each section well oiled and wrapped in heavy newspaper, each wrapped part then twined inside black plastic. He had broken down his rod and reel and had stored them in an olive-green carrying case, all of it ready for the long flight to Miami." After a long stay abroad and a love affair that fell apart, Mitch Roberts is headed home. Back to his ranch, his horses and maybe, to being a private eye again. But if Roberts is looking forward to an uneventful life, he has farther to go than a return to southern Colorado. His problems start when a beautiful flight attendant suggests he meet her for a drink at her favorite bar in a stopover in Miami. The bar’s parking lot, however, comes equipped with two thugs who knock Mitch out, take his passport, credit cards, and every cent in his pocket, and drive off in his rental car. Desperate, Mitch calls the only person he knows in Miami, a former college acquaintance named Bobby Hilliard, a rather sleazy character who has made a lot of money in questionable ways, and is now an art dealer. When Mitch finds the seductive flight attendant at the man’s mansion, he is quick to realize he has been set up. But an offer of a sorely needed big fee tempts him, and he accepts a job offer from Hilliard. Hilliard’s agent, sent to Haiti with money to buy a large number of Haitian paintings has disappeared. Mitch’s job is to find the agent and buy paintings to replace those that were lost. But Haiti is dismaying. Police officials openly scoff at Mitch. He is sickened by the tropical heat and by the atmosphere of poverty, fear and paranoia. When Mitch finds that the agent has been murdered he does what he must, aided only by a Haitian guide, poor but educated, and a loyal man with whom Mitch travels the country.
