Nobody thinks love is unimportant, but we are not as clear as we should be about what love involves, and about what it is to learn to love. This book is primarily concerned with personal love between the sexes (or between members of the same sex). It is a mixture of analytic philosophy and depth-psychology, but free from jargon and technicality. Its main aim is to help us understand the nature and value of love, and to grasp the difficulties we have to face when engaging with it.

PALGRAVE~MACMILLAN

At thirty-two, Benjamin Justice was one of Los Angeles best known journalists. He had the respect and envy of his colleagues, the admiration of his employers and the ear of the city's population. Until he won the Pulitzer Prize for one of his features and everything came crashing down. Found to have invented the subjects of his piece, Justice was forced to return the Pulitzer, was fired from his job, and became a pariah to most of his former colleagues. Now in his mid-forties, still considered a disgrace to his former profession, HIV-positive, and once again single, Justice has once again begun to put his life back together. Under contract to a major publisher to write his autobiography, Benjamin Justice is trying to put all the elements of his life into perspective for the first time. While searching out a priest from his childhood, Justice enlists his closest friend's fiancé - a columnist for the Los Angeles Times - to bring pressure upon the powers that be to reveal the long-hidden truth about this almost forgotten priest. Then his friend's fiancé is killed in a tragic hit-and-run accident and Justice is called upon to look into the mysterious circumstances of the too-convenient accident. Reluctant at first, Justice soon finds himself in the midst of a complex case involving a decades old child murder, a powerful and controversial Cardinal, and elements of his own dark past. John Morgan Wilson's Edgar and Lambda Literary Award winning Benjamin Justice novels are amongst the most highly regarded and widely praised crime fiction to have emerged in the past decade. Now, in Blind Eye, Benjamin Justice returns in the most compelling and controversial novel yet in this not-to-be missed series.

A Benjamin Justice Mystery Benjamin Justice knows a reporter is nothing without credibility. He learned the hard way when a Pulitzer was snatched from his grasp. It's been a long, hard climb to find even a fraction of the work he once had. But his fortunes are about to change: Justice has been offered the opportunity to script a documentary for public television. Only after he accepts the job does he learn a crucial piece of information: The man who had the assignment before him has disappeared, leaving behind his trashed motel room-and a spattering of blood. As Justice delves into his predecessor's notes and follows his tracks, he enters a world of pleasure and peril-and deadly secrets. And soon it will not be his reputation Justice must protect...but his very life.

Justice at Risk: A Benjamin Justice Mystery

Crimeline

Reporter Alexandra Templeton sets up the reclusive Justice on a blind date that leads to a rare opportunity for legitimate work writing a documentary - until the producer is killed. Justice is smitten with gorgeous Peter Graff, who was close to the victim, and is drawn into the investigation. As he delves deeper into the murder, he uncovers connections to a 15-year-old incident of police brutality that was never prosecuted, but may have been caught on tape by a TV camera crew on a police ride-along. His investigation reaches the highest levels of the city's wealthy power structure and unpeels layer after layer of the city's dark history. Ignoring danger signals, Justice takes reckless chances that put him at mortal risk, and that change his life forever. The story reaches a shocking climax in the dungeon-like basement of a former LAPD cop, where pleasure is mixed with pain - and the fates of Justice and the beautiful innocent, Peter Graff, are in the hands of a human monster.
