Book Description by Author:

In the smoky noir world of 1958 San Francisco, a down and out private detective experiences a series of surrealistic yet frightening dreams, in which his once best friend pleads for his help, before turning a gun to his head and committing suicide. To ease the lingering doubts regarding his friend's well-being, he sets out to locate him, only to learn he in fact committed suicide, a month before the dreams began. As his investigation deepens, the detective becomes alternately convinced of his friend's suicide, survival and murder, before confronting the shocking reality of his friend’s actual fate, as well as facing the final desperation of his own.
