The summer of love is the center piece for this story. A serial killer named the Death Tripper is stalking and killing flower children. John Sparrow is tapped to investigate the killings. With the help of Amy Cole, and underground weekly writer for The Rag, he tries to infiltrate the Haight-Ashbury community to track the killer. He is blocked on all sides by George Moon, a militant cop and his riot squad, and the community itself. Even though the killer is revealed midway the book it doesn't take away from the story. An interesting look at both side of an historic time in American History.
