Altered States Of Consciousness

San Francisco, 1967: It's autumn, and the Summer of Love is over. The hippies have fled to rural communes while a rash of bad drugs and runaways taints the Haight Ashbury neighborhood. Then comes the grisly murder of a drug dealer. A swift arrest and conviction follow. Few notice. Except for Evan Dunne. His brother's drug-related murder in the Haight comes as a shock. His brother didn't fit the mold of a dealer. He was a husband, a father, a straight arrow. The killer can't even recall the crime. Nothing adds up. Then Evan discovers his late brother's diary. The journal describes a grand conspiracy against the counterculture that might have precipitated the bizarre murder. With Haight Street decaying around him and the Vietnam War looming in his future and shadowy men seeking the diary, Evan risks his life to expose the alarming conspiracy. In this fast-paced historical thriller, Dan Spencer delves into the celebrated Summer of Love to show how the Sixties blurred the line between hallucination and reality.
