Description
Lamont Bliss came to San Francisco all right, but when they found him dead the flowers he wore weren't just in his hair - they were spilling out of every wound in his mutilated body. What happened to Lamont should never have been any of Alex's business. She was just back from New Mexico and the main thing on her mind was choosing a new tattoo. Then Sean the enumerator came calling. The enumerators were everywhere that year, sex surveyors tracking the spread of HIV in San Francisco. But when someone told the enumerator a little too much about their sex life - that's when the killing started. Driven by passion and violence, soaked in fear and sex, The Enumerator offers the sharpest take on San Francisco since Dashiell Hammett's Maltese Falcon.
Reviews / Votes
?Bushell conveys wonderfully well the lurking anger and darkness beneath this most sophisticated of American cities? GQ ?Well plotted, beautifully written, this is a book to treasure; tense, thrilling, and with that little extra something that I think is called heart? Crime Time ?This is first-rate writing and an uncommonly good book that rises beyond genre? Maine Sunday TelegraphMore details
