Motet (Harvill Press) – Trade paperback (1998) by Keith Maillard MOTET is a raucous trip through the psychedelic underworld of the sixties and an explosive investigation of an unsolved murder. Music is the passion that links Paul, his lover Kathy, her ex-husband, and Paul's daughter Wendy, but it is a passion that nearly destroys them all. MOTET was hailed as a "bravura performance" when it was first published in 1989.
