There's a place where love and mistrust are never at peace; where duplicity and deceit are the universal currency. The Co-Conspirator's Tale takes place within this nebulous firmament. There are crimes committed by the police in the name of the law. Excess in the name of revolution. The combination leaves death in its wake and the survivors struggling to find justice in a San Francisco Bay Area noir by the author of the underground classic The Way the Wind Blew:A History of the Weather Underground and the novel Short Order Frame Up.

Format:Paperback
This book is a highly entertaining read. The language is fast and to the point. The event line incredulous yet probable. The characters full of color.
The setup to, and unfolding of, the story are masterfully designed: After a news article outlines the facts of the case in the first 2 pages, the protagonist is called back to revisit the past. The past soon becomes the present as old battles with authority resurface. But so are old friendships rekindled, and new relationships grown. And along the way staying true to spirit and integrity becomes the ultimate matter of fact.
