THE RED RAVEN
Book 4: The L.A. AFTER MIDNIGHT Quartet
Los Angeles, 1988...Thirteen years have passed since the events in THE BLUE PARROT...Crusading attorney Paul Winters has settled into a quiet life representing AIDS patients as the disease takes its deadly toll in the community. But his peaceful existence is shattered when a brutal bathhouse murder and a briefcase stuffed with blackmail money propel him into a nightmare world of fear and danger. Against the backdrop of 1980s AIDS activism and depraved government indifference, Paul and investigator Jim Blake embark on their final case. As they follow the clues, Paul and Blake are hunted by murderous adversaries who will stop at nothing to bring them down.
​
And they are ultimately forced to examine their past choices--and to ask...is it too late for us?

​
Steve Neil Johnson's style is perfectly cinematic, perfectly noirish, but also full of compassion, insight and complexity that never fail to cut directly to the bone.
