"Eye of the
Beholder"-type femme fatale who has provoked a series of men
into
violent episodes, one of which shot up him and the motel

in New York
City in the near future. Crime is rampant, cops and mob
running amuck,
leading to confrontation between Alonzo, "the Family Man,"
and his
brother Charles, "the gun-toting monsignor of the
corruption-ridden New
York City Police Department."

to PI to investigate man about whom she has recently
recovered repressed

starting
with the collected Green Candles and:

Locke.
