Steven Jay Schwartz

Steven Jay Schwartz (est. birth – 1955, grew up in New Mexico) – noir detective novelist. Hayden Glass is a highly competent LAPD detective but struggles with a crippling secret: he is a sex addict who cruises Sunset Boulevard for prostitutes to cope with childhood trauma. Some readers and critics find the exploration of shame, personal responsibility, and trauma to align with themes prevalent in Jewish literature, even if the character is not overtly practicing. Glass’s religious/ethnic background is not emphasized in the series. [Google/AI]
