1976365 pages. A public health inspector spends twenty-five frustrating years trying to be of service to his community (Victoria, British Columbia). At fifty he resigns and goes in search of a more satisfying life. He finds it in tropical Northern Queensland. This is his story. It is a novel and an anthology. Essays, verses, short fiction, travel, observations, character sketches. It is the compellingly written, informative, enlightening, thought-provoking, always entertaining experience of a man with intelligence, wit, and humour. The reader will find that she/he is seeing himself and his own community, because this book is not just about a small Canadian city or one corner of the sunny South Pacific. Nor is it just about one man's escape from a frustrating job. It is a forthright assessment of a society in trouble by a man who has a wider view because he deliberately stepped outside.

1974rif. 021669N.Y: Mason & Lipscomb 1974. First edition so stated. Publisher's gray cloth with yellow endpapers with black lettering along the spine. A very Fine tight clean copy in fine dust jacket very lightly rubbed as usual upper corner has very slight dampstain at inside flap not price clipped in protective mylar cover. The First Jacob Asch title. "Lyons is one of the best of the current crop of California detective writers; his approach is stylistically closer to Chandler not as consciously literary and portentous as late MacDonald." - See Pronzini and Muller 1001 Midnights The Aficionado's Guide to Mystery and Detective Fiction pp. 500-501. . Jacob Asch never really considered himself a private detective. He was just an out of work investigative journalist who had had a few hard breaks and would be back in there filing copy again just as soon as he could clear his record. And when he got himself involved in investigating cases like the ritual sacrifice of wealthy girl about town Sheila Warren he felt more like an amateur then ever. For the trail was to lead through the undergroud of Los Angeles of the 1970s from its arcane religious sects of Satanists and Jesus freaks to the kinky sexual pleasures of the wealthy who could callously destroy the life of a teenage girl for the sake of a roll of bizarre movie film. The Dead are Discreet introduces a new detective. Jacob Asch witty bitter with his ideals somewhat battered but still intact works the strange but fascintating underworld of Sourhern California today. First Edition. Hardcover. Fine/Near Fine. Book.
