More like a novel than a factual account; this book was interesting and very readable. Although the author said she researched the case for many years, she does not reveal sources. A murder takes place in 1969 San Francisco in an atmosphere of rioting, drugs and sexual freedom. We meet a young man from India, an Untouchable, who is brilliant and possibly insane. The girl he falls in love with can't see the danger she is in until it is too late. ( ) no reviews | add a review
