(Moses Wine solved his first major case in The Big Fix, an...)
Moses Wine solved his first major case in The Big Fix, and with it has come a certain amount of celebrity: articles about him and interviews with him have appeared in Newsweek. Dr. Gunther Thomas shows up at Moses front door with a challenge to clear best-selling author Jock Hecht of the murder of ABC anchorwoman Deborah Frank. Waist-deep in questions that seem to have no answers, Moses must find a way to solve the unsolvable or being portrayed as a jerk in a national magazine. Ever restless, ROGER L. SIMON has spent his life moving between books and movies, gaining distinction in both. In books, he is best known for the seven Moses Wine detective novels, which have won prizes in the U.S. and Great Britain and been published in over a dozen languages. In film, most prominent among his six produced screenplays-including his adaptation of The Big Fix-is Enemies, A Love Story, for which Simon was nominated for an Academy Award. Recently, he has turned to directing, filming the independent Prague Duet, which he co-wrote with his wife, Sheryl Longin, and which was a Romance Classics Premiere in 1999. He lives in Los Angeles, California.

A guided tour of the People's Republic, Aunt Sonya had said: U.S.-China Friendship Study Tour Number Five, arranged by the China Friendship Society, an organization in which she was involved. Why "not" get away from it all? Moses Wine figured. At least it would get him away from personal injury cases, murder investigations, and the insistent feeling that boredom and alienation were about to become his constant companions in his middle age. But China has a way of springing surprises, and soon California's hippest ex-radical detective is chasing down the priceless Han Dynasty Peking Duck, falling for a gorgeous dragon lady in a Mao suit -- and fighting for his life across a vast, mysterious land he barely knows...

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.
