Long Time Gone : A Novel

A 49-year-old divorced journalist returns to his old neighbourhood for his father's wake and tries to exorcise the demons of 1969 - a year that saw his life shattered in a purple haze of drugs and violence between the working class and the counter-culture. He also pieces back together the lost love of his life with a woman, now a widowed businesswoman, whose father's unsolved murder remains part of the puzzle of his life.
