Included in this collection are such favorites as Father's Day, Something Borrowed, Something Blue, And All Ye Need, Grunion Hunt, Outside Mombasa, and The Girl in the Red 'Vette. Men with Women (a gutsy twist on the Hemingway title) is a wrenching collection about men Ц creatures Hullett casts as tragic figures who, although never really alone, must stand apart to define themselves. Crisp dialog renders genuinely poignant many of these self-made souls. I particularly liked Outside Mombasa, a tale of men told by a woman. Rhapsody has a razor edge, Grunion Hunt is disturbing, and And All Ye Need is one of the most romantic little pieces I have ever read ЕЕ. Robert Kester, reviewed for Amazon.com
How about a sample? Let's download it		The blockbuster first novel by award winning playwright Joseph Hullett. Headlines tag her The River Trail Jogger -- a woman gang-raped and discarded for dead near the southern California stadium where the Angels sometimes play. Heart failing, she begs her ex-husband, detective Pete Pinel -- END IT! Rent between the faltering letting-go of grief and the desperate holding-on of vengeance, Pinel charges wounded and fever-fired into a savage world of street-gangs, hounding El Tigre and the Fallen Angels to an apocalyptic subterranean climax. But nothing can obscure Veronica's plea. Returning full circle to her bedside -- to a last goodbye haunted by echoes of a first hello -- Pinel discovers what she really wants ... but can he give it? (262 pages in three parts)
Let's take a free peek		Sneak a peek at next year's long-awaited sequel to Killing Rain, Killing Fire. A madman's cryptic message plunges a grieving Pinel into a web of drug companies and university scientists -- a web entangling a beautiful psychiatrist who needs someone to watch over her.
