Long time gone

the long version

"1969: Woodstock and the Moratorium, a man on the moon, Broadway Joe Namath, the Mets take the World Series." "It was a year that saw goofballs, acid, thorazine, pot, Seconal, amphetamines, meth, and THC." "It was the year the sixties ended, and it was the year in which Danny Cassidy saw his life shattered in a purple haze of drugs and violence. Did he kill the father of the girl of his teenage dreams? Or was he framed to cover up a far darker crime?". "Thirty-two years later, Danny, now a forty-nine-year-old divorced journalist, returns to his old neighborhood for his father's wake and one last attempt to exorcise the demons of that watershed year. One final chance as well to piece together the lost love of his life: Ericka Malone, now a successful businesswoman whose father's unsolved murder remains the missing piece of the puzzle of both their lives."--BOOK JACKET.
