The Golden Calf

More about the book

Elysium is the last town created on the southern coast of California. It was a fitful and difficult birth and resulted in a community of unique beauty, wealth, and privilege. Yet still, despite the apparent perfection of the design, the architectural refinement, the whole enforced ambience of the town, it is not immune to drama and tragedy, conflict and poverty. A working-class District Attorney Investigator sifts through the evidence and a cast of narcissistic characters to find the truth about a death on an otherwise idyllic and pristine beach. In his search for the truth, he finds a complex milieu of motivation and obsession; and in the final analysis, he discovers his own peace.
