We offer you three detective novels by a living classic of American literature, an outstanding writer and politician, Gore Vidal, who challenged decent America with his scandalous novel about homosexuals. Vidal's detective stories are not just clues to intricately twisted murders; the "noise of time" is unobtrusively but clearly heard in them. The central character of all three books is Peter Sargent II - a reluctant detective. He is not a professional or even a fan of private investigations, but simply a smart and insightful guy, openly cynical and loving women.
