Riassunto

It is the summer of 1969 - the hottest, sweatiest summer in history, the American summer in the American year in the American century.

The Woodstock festival is in full swing and Norman Mailer is standing as candidate for Mayor of New York. Against this backdrop, second-rate detective Turner Raines finds himself investigating a series of murders that begin with the death of his best friend, a reporter on the Village Voice.
