Moses Wine hat es weit gebracht: Er besitzt in L. A. eine lukrative Privatdetektei und er hat eine schöne Freundin. Trotzdem ist er nicht glücklich, denn er führt jetzt genau das stinknormale bürgerliche Leben, das er früher immer verachtet hat. Seine radikale Vergangenheit holt ihn ein, als er erfährt, dass sein Sohn von der Polizei gesucht wird: Er gehört zu einer Gruppe von Umweltaktivisten, und ihm wird vorgeworfen, schuld am Tod eines Holzfällers zu sein. Zusammen mit seiner Exfrau, mit der er seit Jahren kaum gesprochen hat, macht sich Moses Wine in den Nebelwäldern Nordkaliforniens auf die Suche nach seinem Sohn, bevor die Polizei ihn aufspürt.
Introduction by Academy Award winning actor Richard Dreyfuss, who portrayed Moses Wine in the acclaimed screen adaptation of 'The Big Fix.' With a new afterword by Roger L. Simon. Who Killed the Sixties-Or Was it a Suicide? Moses Wine thought he had put his interest in politics far behind him when he became a Los Angeles-based private detective. Sure, he'd once been an activist, but that had been during the Sixties. A lifetime ago'or so it seemed, before Lila Shea showed up on his doorstep. Lila was a woman who could have been the love of his life'had they remained together after their last night of passion in 1967. Nevertheless, she's back, and her political views are as strong as they were when Moses last saw her. Before he knows it, Moses finds himself at the campaign headquarters of Senator Miles Hawthorne. . The job Hawthorne offers seems simple: Locate Howard Eppis, chairman of the Free Amerika Party, and convince him to end the smear campaign he's been waging against the senator during his bid for presidency. But then Lila turns up dead, and suddenly politics are the last thing on Moses' mind'...
