Product Description
Los Angeles, 1986.
A group of right-wing Christians has put an initiative on the November ballot to allow health officials to force people with HIV into quarantine campsâand it looks like itâs going to pass. Rios, now living in LA, agrees to be counsel for a group of young activists who call themselves QUEER [Queers United to End Erasure and Repression]. QUEER claims to be committed to peaceful civil disobedience. But when one of its members is implicated in the bombing of an evangelical church that kills its pastor, who publicly supported the quarantine initiative, Rios finds himself with a client suddenly facing the death penalty.\
Review
âNava is an impassioned writer who has once again created a fascinating picture of Los Angeles at an earlier, less enlightened time, centering on gay men trying to shed the shame they have been taught and becoming proud agents of social change.â âJohn M. Clum,
New York Journal of Books\
âThis realistic, gritty mystery set during the AIDS crisis is an eye-opener.â â
Publishers Weekly\
"John Grisham is usually the first name to come up in discussions of legal fictionâand justifiably so. But itâs time to recognize another master of the genre: Michael Nava.â â
The Washington Post
Review
âNavaâs prose is powerful, matching the weight of the storyâas he deftly unfurls a dark, haunting novel that readers will find impossible to ignore.
Lies With Man is an important, engaging, and complex crime tale.â âAlex Segura, acclaimed author of
Star Wars Poe Dameron: Free Fall,
Miami Midnight, and
Blackout
