As America races toward the supposedly bright new decade of the 1950s, disillusioned white private dick, Matt Moulton finds himself faltering in the dark. Should he serve an amnesiac client whose recovering memories of paid murder intensify his own wartime guilt as an assassin? Should he risk endangering the person he loves, a beautiful black woman, for information on that case and an apparently related one? Does he imagine he can save her and himself from the corruption, the intolerance, and the apathy that linger in that violent nation’s shadows?
Taking place in a misty, sulky San Francisco, ‘Past Tense’ appeals to readers who love their thrillers hardboiled. It brings pulp fiction back from the past, but here, the genre seems more modern and yet more noir-like than ever before.

With nothing to his name but a GED, Michael Amedeo had no choice but to begin writing. The active voice helped him earn a BA in Political Science from the University of Illinois at Chicago and an MA in International Relations from the intellectually demanding University of Chicago. He became an award-winning creative copywriter for corporations and agencies, a freelance film critic and journalist for several newspapers and magazines, and a PR and media relations writer for still more organizations. Looking for a new writer’s edge, Amedeo turned to fiction and created the stylishly embittered private dick, Matt Moulton.
