Summary:
"As a detective, [Turner Raines has] found his niche. In the summer of 1969--the hottest, sweatiest in history, the American summer in the American year in the American century--the USA is about to land a man on the moon, and the Vietnam War is set to continue to rip the country to pieces, setting sons against fathers, fathers against sons. If your kid dodges the draft, hooks up with a hippie commune, makes a dash for Canada, Turner Raines is the man to find him. He won't drag him back, that's not the deal, but he will put you in touch with your loved one"--Amazon.com.
