Eamon Gold is the real deal, a City-by-the-Bay ex-cop turned private dick with a taste for Glenlivet, Spenseresque wisecracks and tossing darts around his office... he's your basic meat-and-potatoes eye and his creator, Richard Helms, is simply one helluva storyteller, a master chef who knows when to stir the pot and when to let the ingredients just speak for themselves.
-Kevin Burton Smith, Thrilling Detective Website Richard Helms' Derringer Award-winning (The Gospel According to Gordon Black) and Shamus Award-nominated (Cordite Wine; Brittle Karma) San Francisco private eye Eamon Gold returns in Doctor Hate, a tale cast in molds forged by Raymond Chandler, Ross Macdonald, and Robert B. Parker. Brandon Hunt is an arch-conservative, racist, sexist, xenophobic college professor, and he isn't shy about it. Having won almost termination-proof tenure in a lawsuit against the university, he has become a lightning rod for controversy with his vitriolic diatribes in public speeches and the press, earning him the nickname 'Doctor Hate.' Now, Hunt has been attacked on campus and brutally beaten. He hires San Francisco private eye Eamon Gold and his new partner, detective-in-training Sonny Malehala, for personal protection as the police investigate the assault. Then, Hunt reveals to Gold that he's being blackmailed, and we're off to the races. Retired forensic psychologist and college professor Richard Helms has been nominated eight times for the SMFS Derringer Award, with two wins; seven times for the PWA Shamus Award; twice for the ITW Thriller Award, with one win; and once for the MRI Macavity Award. A former president of the Southeastern Regional Chapter of Mystery Writers of America and MWA National Board Member, Doctor Hate is his twenty-first novel.
