A debut novel by a 72-year-old retired attorney takes place in Claremont and environs in 1970-72, when writer Orlando Davidson was living here and studying at Claremont Men’s College. The book starts with a campus bombing, inspired by an actual event, and goes from there as two law-enforcement friends look into the case, which isn’t what it seems. Along the way they drive real streets and eat at real restaurants, making the book a nostalgia kick for some as well as a mystery. I talk to Davidson for my Wednesday column. (If you saw in my recent Reading Log post that I read the book, then consider this a bonus.)
