The Hidden Law CBB-1315 / BRB-11171
by Michael Nava
"State Senator Gus Pena has far too many enemies. In the fierce,
competitive world of LA politics, savage rivalries are a given,
especially for a suavely corrupt veteran like Pena, who will do anything
to become mayor. But when he's gunned down by a shadowy figure
wearing a Chicano gang's colors, the suspect the cops arrest is Michael
Ruis, a bitter confused teenager with whom Pena had fought violently
at the drug rehab center they both attended. But Rios detects a flaw in
the teenager's description of the killing that points to an even more
unlikely suspect." 1992.
