A bomb, a stock tip…
A very good story
Late-1990s San Francisco. Joe Hart is a former revolutionary, current hustler, and connoisseur of bad ideas. When an insider tip tempts him to risk his daughter Emma’s fortune, the two are pulled into the orbit of the city’s troublemakers—and a found family neither quite asked for.
Social history with a grin, a fairy tale with teeth, and a book to root for, full of characters you’ll hate to leave.

About Daniel
I worked at America’s most conservative daily paper, edited an underground paper, wrote for the New York Times, Mother Jones and The Nation, directed an association of feisty journalists, and founded and led TechSoup for 30 years. I once thought technology would liberate us all; I’ve spent a good deal of time wondering why it hasn’t quite worked out that way. All along, I’ve read and written. More deets on Wikipedia here.
Substantial Justice
A witty, fast-paced thriller set in late-1970s and early-1980s America.
“Substantial Justice is a joy to read--who can resist a mix of intrigue, cannabis, and fraught romance?”— Joan Silber (Winner of the 2018 PEN/Faulkner Award for Fiction for Improvement)Explore the book
