...Nolte, a Nietzsche-reading, Zen master he knew in the Marines. But Moriarty has no idea just how much entrepeneurial capitalism is frowned upon by corporate America--just who do you cross, running smack from the Golden Triangle? The CIA? The Mob? While Moriarty ponders that, with the aid of two alternately humorous and sadistic thugs, Nolte and Weld are running for their lives, down to Los Angeles and finally out into the desert to an abandoned hippy enclave where Nolte once lived.
