Meld je aan bij LibraryThing om erachter te komen of je dit boek goed zult vinden. Op dit moment geen Discussie gesprekken over dit boek. As much a chronicle of LA at the height of the AIDS epidemic in the Gay community (when it was a death sentence) as a mystery. There is also a little romance tucked in here. This is the second book in a series with lawyer/investigator Henry Rios. In addition to being a lawyer, and being Gay, Henry is a theater buff, a recovering alcoholic, a dedicated friend, an engaged if cautious lover, and most importantly a person of integrity. I am looking forward to checking out the other six volumes. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

In his latest case, Henry Rios may have something few defense attorneys ever experience: a truly innocent client It's a cause Henry Rios can't resist: defending a young gay man on trial for killing the coworker who threatened to out him. Jim Pears is charged with first-degree murder; Pears says he's innocent but the evidence is damning. Pears was found covered in the victim's blood and with the murder weapon in his hand. But nothing about the People v. Jim Pears is what it seems. Rios is asked to join the case because he knows first-hand the pressures and threats that come with being gay in 1980s California. In the midst of one of the most complex trials of his career, Rios meets and falls in love with Josh Mandel, the prosecutor's star witness. For this defense attorney, fighting for justice has never been more personal. And the stakes are no less than life and death. Goldenboy is the second book in the Henry Rios mystery series, which also includes The Little Death and Howtown. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

In this story, it's been three years since The Little Death, and my favorite attorney, Henry, is about to take on a hopeless case in which the suspect maintains his innocence while the real killer moves around in the background.
Henry also meets Joshua, a young man who's already living with HIV, but will light up Henry's life. Josh's parents aren't too keen on their relationship, but are supportive in the end. ( )
