A convergent road novel with horsepower and love to spare, Angels, Ghosts and Desert Thunder is a novel born of the 60s euphoria and a wake-up call to anyone who's blown it and lost hope: Life is good! But the road can be long and lonely- you'll need some good company.Jeremiah Blades had it all in 1967, the Summer of Love: a coveted DJ spot on Boston Top 40 radio, Eve, his adventurous young Flower Power wife, and Gideon, his beautiful baby boy. Then he lost it all.Seventeen years later he's living a hermit existence in the woods of New Hampshire, wishing he could find his long lost son, when Artie Turnbull, a shady character from Jeremiah's past, shows up with a bundle of stolen mob money. He wants Jeremiah to deliver the cash to a reclusive Indian hippie named Joseph Ironwing Longfeather living somewhere in the wilderness of the Arizona desert. For the favor, Artie offers him a cool $40 thousand in "favor money."Energized for the first time in years, Jeremiah buys a chopper motorcycle and sets out to find Longfeather so he can make the promised delivery before beginning his search for Gideon. Along the way he picks up Sonny Ortiz, a gorgeous, albeit "slightly pregnant," hooker who's running from her past and wants to change. For Sonny and Jeremiah the road will be a long and dangerous one, with no guarantees they'll find what they're looking for at the end. For them, it's the open road and a search for a new life in an unforgiving land.
