Winner of six Lambda Literary awards, the Henry Rios mystery series is iconic and Michael Nava has been hailed by the New York Times as “one of our best” writers. Originally published during the darkest years of the AIDS epidemic in the gay community, The Death of Friends received extraordinary praise both as a mystery and an eloquent work of witness. Publisher’s Weekly said, “This is a brave, ambitious and highly impressive work.” The San Francisco Chronicle described it as “A beautifully executed novel, with a classic whodunit at its core.” And People magazine said, “Nava can devise as canny a plot as he can a defense motion. His latest, though, has something special – the scent of memory that lingers as poignantly as a departed lover’s cologne.”

“The truth can be painful, but it does not produce evil. Lies are the source of evil.”Thus says Henry Rios, recovering alcoholic, self-accepting gay man, lawyer for the weak and undefended. If Michael Nava’s preceding book in this series, “The Hidden Law,” was all about Chicano rage, “The Death of Friends” is all about the destructive forces of lies.The story starts with an earthquake—the Northridge quake of 1994 that rattled Los Angles, killing 60 and injuring 9000. While there is a plot-driven reason for the earthquake’s presence in the story, it is an apt metaphor for what is about to happen to Henry’s world. Once again, Michael Nava weaves his tale with smart, beautifully crisp prose and a lawyer’s gift for layered thinking.I cried a little more at this one, but at least this time I was at home and not on public transportation. Like his other books, “The Death of Friends” hits close to home for a gay man of my generation. Michael Nava’s age places him exactly between my husband and myself. None among those of us who survived the 1980s experienced the devastation of AIDS in exactly the same way; but all of us saw our friends die. All of us lived in the shadow of fear that our uncaring government did nothing to dispel or assuage.Death is always a central theme in a murder mystery, but here the narrative is bookended by death, and it involves two men about whom Henry Rios cares deeply. Chris Chandler’s murder, and the complicated, ugly truths it reveals, sets the stage for another impending death, that of Josh Mandel, Henry’s friend and former lover. This is no spoiler. I lived through this, there were no miracle drugs yet. There was no escape once the virus destroyed your immune system. It was all a matter of how and when. Josh’s fate is preordained. All we have to learn is how and when.The greatest joy in these novels is not the courtroom dramatics (which are pretty great), nor the brilliant character studies Nava gives us as we meet the various actors in this tragic history of life in America. No, the bright, vivid center of this series is the increasingly detailed and loving portrait of Henry Rios himself that emerges a little more with each passing volume. This young man, just entering middle age, has rebuilt his life into something strong and good and filled with a desire for justice that has no taint of superiority or self-righteousness. Henry is not perfect, not by a long shot. He has his prejudices, but they are neither thoughtless nor unbending. Henry is fully aware of his own shortcomings, and that awareness gives him the generosity of spirit he needs to see what other people turn away from.“The Death of Friends” is, in the end, the saddest of the books so far, but it leaves you wishing that Henry Rios was your best friend, and simultaneously wondering if you’d be worthy.
