About the book

About The Angel & The Thin Man

"Because it takes a hippie to find a hippie." San Francisco 1966. The damaged son of the city's most famous detective, Nicky Charles is nobody's hero. Squatting in an abandoned garage, barely making enough to feed himself, the ex-junkie and Vietnam vet is deep in debt to a gangster with a penchant for throwing people off of tall buildings. Just when Nicky thinks things couldn't get any worse, a ruthless drug lord gives him an ultimatum: track down the man's missing hippie daughter or die trying. With a biker gang and a pair of psychotic filmmakers hot on his tail, Nicky finds free love, drugs and rock 'n' roll -- but no girl. What should have been a simple search drags him down into the soft white underbelly of San Francisco's Sixties counterculture. Time is running out for Nicky to bring the lost girl home without getting himself killed. Again.
