Unfinished
Sixth in a series of noir mysteries featuring newspaper reporter Samuel Hamilton, Unfinished confronts the question, how much hurt can be repaired when betrayal, kidnapping, and violence touch a person's life? The story opens with the kidnapping of a young boy--the third such kidnapping within a short period--only now it's the son of Emma Sheridan, a French émigré, widow of a Vietnam veteran, and someone to whom Samuel owes a huge emotional debt. This time it's personal. While Samuel engages in his usual relentless job of pursuing the kidnapper, the narrative illuminates the lives and experiences of an exotic cast of characters, Emma Sheridan, whose life has been a series of losses, Emma's eccentric but resourceful son Alain, the wise and compassionate Argentinean therapist Ana Cejas, and then there are the suspects and perpetrators, driven by their own perverse needs.

The Halls of Power
Fifth in a series of noir mysteries featuring newspaper reporter Samuel Hamilton, The Halls of Power explores corruption at the top of the money chain in San Francisco in the early 1960s. The work teems with eccentric characters at every level of society--hardboiled cops and immigrant workmen, and prosperous businessmen. None, however, can rival the albino sage, Mr. Song, who steps in with vigilante justice when the system stops working for the people of Chinatown.
The Chinese Jars
A noir mystery set in San Francisco, The Chinese Jars follows Samuel Hamilton, an ad salesman for the local newspaper, as he investigate the suspicious death of a casual acquaintance. The unraveling evidence leads him through a maze of traffickers in Chinese antiquities to Mister Song's Many Chinese Herbs store. Mr. Song is a powerful man in his neighborhood, and his vessels are a safe place for Chinatown residents to deposit money and documents.
The Fourth of May
May 4 , 1990 marks the 20th anniversary of the day Ohio National Guardsmen fired on antiwar demonstrators at Kent State University, killing four of them and wounding eight others. Authors Sorvig and Gordon have produced two very different books relating to that event. Sorvig's is a highly personal account of his reactions to the killings and his participation in an architectural contest to design a memorial to the casualties. His book does not purport to be an examination of the incident itself, and thus is not likely to be useful to readers attempting to understand what happened and why. Because of its focus, idiosyncratic style, and impressionistic approach, the book's limited audience is ...
Fractured Lives
The body of a well-dressed young man is found in San Francisco's City Hall. Killed by multiple gunshots from an unusual foreign pistol, the mystery is further compounded by the fact that the victim had his fingerprints surgically removed. The search for the murderer leads newspaper reporter Samuel Hamilton through the Mayor's office into a gritty underground world of gunrunners and overseas to Jordan, Israel, and the Mossad, the Israeli intelligence agency.
