Book Overview
A MOSES WINE MYSTERY Despite a string of successful cases, despite the fact that his work has, on occasion, garnered national attention, when the opportunity suddenly presents itself for private eye Moses Wine to become head of security at the Tulip Computer Corporation, he jumps at the chance. But then one of Tulip's young geniuses is killed, and Moses quickly finds himself trailing a murderer from Northern California to Los Angeles, then across an ocean to the mean streets of Tokyo. Along the way, he discovers that there's far more to the ins and outs of life in Silicon Valley than corporate in-fighting and bureaucratic bungling -- especially when it involves international computer theft, the Japanese mafia, and the GRU.

This early Silicon Valley mystery may be the best. Great stuff in Japan too relating Zen to computers. An original book.
Moses Wine Tries To Sell Out
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
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.
