About the book

Clay Blackburn - poet, book scout, and sometimes detective - cruises the mean, and sometimes not so mean, streets of Berkeley. With his accomplices, a soldier of fortune, a 'defrocked' FBI agent, and a smooth and sexy con man, he lives a life of bisexual sensation with a little crime solving on the side. As such, Blackburn is a sly, witty, and more or less reliable raconteur of the last thirty something years of the Bay Area's radical bohemia and bookselling. And in the tradition of Ian Rankin's Edinburgh, and Jean-Claude Izzo's Marseilles, bears uncomfortable witness to Berkeley's descent from countercultural paradise to neoliberal inferno. This omnibus collection collects the novels The Chandler Apartments (2002), The Incredible Double (2010), and the previously unpublished Mayakovsky's Bugatti (2025), and includes the Blackburn short story 'Righteous Kill' (2021).
