Yes, Bill Haywood, the reporter turned reluctant sleuth, is back. When an old flame from Eritrea shows up at reporter Haywood’s door in San Francisco, he reluctantly agrees to let her stay with him. He would prefer weeding the garden behind his apartment, studying haiku, and smoking an occasional bowl of hashish when he isn’t working for the small, community paper that pays his salary. The murder of a shady jazz musician, Ayana’s disappearance, and the unwelcome visit by the cops shocks Haywood out of his complacency.
Bestselling SF author John Goins will read from his latest book Coptic Cross.
