Literate, dark humor peppers this popular tale of 60s hippies that has been selling since it was first published conventionally in 1992. Greater depth and additional twists add to the suspense and the fun in this new 2015 author's edition. But it's not for either the squeamish or the politically correct. It is useful source material for anyone interested in an authentic taste of 60s hippie life from someone who experienced it firsthand...since online searches now demonstrate a remarkable decay in the accuracy of currently available information.
