The Big Fix

Introduction by Academy Award winning actor Richard Dreyfuss who portrayed Moses Wine in the acclaimed screen adaptation of 'The Big Fix.' With a new afterword by Roger L. SimonMoses Wine thought he had put his interest in politics far behind him when he became a Los Angeles-based private detective. Sure, he'd once been an activist, but that had been during the Sixties. A lifetime ago? Or so it seemed, before Lila Shea showed up on his doorstep. Lila was a woman who could have been the love of his life had they remained together after their last night of passion in 1967. Nevertheless, she's back, and her political views are as strong as they were when Moses last saw her.Before he knows it, Moses finds himself at the campaign headquarters of Senator Miles Hawthorne.The job Hawthorne offers seems Locate Howard Eppis, chairman of the Free Amerika Party, and convince him to end the smear campaign he's been waging against the senator during his bid for the presidency. But then Lila turns up dead, and suddenly politics are the last thing on Moses' mind?Ever restless, ROGER L. SIMON has spent his life moving between books and movies, gaining distinction in both. In books, he is best known for the seven Moses Wine detective novels, which have won prizes in the U.S. and Great Britain and been published in over a dozen languages. In film, most prominent among his six produced screenplays—including his adaptation of The Big Fix—is Enemies, A Love Story, for which Simon was nominated for an Academy Award.
