best Roger Simon book -- for what it's worth
This was better than the other Roger Simon books I have read (e.g., Wild Turkey). It's still pretty boring though.

Moses Wine Tries To Sell Out,
By Dame Aggie (NYC) - See all my reviews
This review is from: California Roll (A Moses Wine mystery) (Paperback)
In Roger L. Simon's CALIFORNIA ROLL, Moses Wine, one of my favorite contemporary private eyes, tries to sell out, and he fails miserably. Tulip Computer, hires Moses to head up its security department, but the counter-culture PI remains true to his roots. Simon also presents a terrific detective story here with the murder of a technogenius, a satirical examination of the computer industry, international intrigue, corporate espionage, and a bit of romance. CALIFORNIA ROLL is one Simon's better Wine novels. I wish he'd write them more frequently. I enjoy his perspective on the California social scene. You'll like this book if you enjoy the works of Connelly, Crais, Muller, Grafton, or T. Jefferson Parker.

Computers and Zen in a great mystery,
By Nicholas Waldman (Santa Cruz, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: California Roll: A Moses Wine Detective Novel (Hardcover)
This early Silicon Valley mystery may be the best. Great stuff in Japan too relating Zen to computers. An original book.
