You Can Die Trying (1994)

About book You Can Die Trying (1994)

As a fan of his mysteries involving the retired Loudermilk's and their Airstream trailer, I avoided the Aaron Gunner novels because they seemed the opposite extreme: edgy, violent, lurid compared to the genial atmosphere of the cozy-style. Tracy found this one at a book store on the coast and the description seemed just like the kind of mystery I enjoy: politically aware with characters engaged with the major social and personal issues of the day. In this case--with a 1993 publishing date--Los Angeles, cops, and the black community. There's a twisty enough mystery here and a solid engagement with the complexities without ignoring racism. Gunner seemed opaque, but given this is the third book maybe there was more personal background in the first.Sadly, the issues from a twenty year old novel are still relevant. If you like the Harry Bosch series, get another view of L.A. from Aaron Gunner.
