California Roll (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781876963361)

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. 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.
