Crimson Moon (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781558854215)

A woman's harrowing fall down the side of a weedy cliff has left her struggling for every breath. A discarded manuscript is found buried under rotting food in a garbage dump. Falsified identities and faces half-hidden in the shadows of the Chicano Civil Rights Movement threaten to be unmasked. Private Investigators Justin Escobar and Dora Saldana struggle through this web of bizarre clues in two cases they are working to solve. When the tangled threads lead them to a violent showdown involving F.B.I. misdeeds thirty years in the past, these two intrepid agents of Brown Angel Investigations find themselves in a deadly snare. Weaving the student movements at Berkeley, a serial rapist within the government's ranks, a militant Chicano brown power group in Denver, and even the Zapatista movement in Chiapas, Mexico, Corpi has once again penned an intriguing thriller that revisits one of the most disturbing chapters for the American psyche: the civil rights struggles and student revolts during the late 1960s and early 1970s.
