The place would appear to be the perfect setting of an open-air staging of “The Flintstones.”

Oline H. Cogdill: Local Book News
Gay and lesbian mysteries have been making an impact on the genre for years. The boost began in 1970 when Joseph Hansen published Fadeout, his first Dave Brandstetter novel. Hollywood author Neil Plakcy continues that tradition with his series featuring a gay policeman in Hawaii. Plakcy will discuss his latest novel Mahu Vice at 4 p.m. Sept. 13 at Borders, 2240 E.
