...Leiber and Stoller left Atlantic in 1963 to form their own label, Red Bird. As composers, they soon ceased writing hits. But their catalog was so rich that it kept generating them. Dion covered two Drifters songs, "Ruby Baby" from ?956 and "Drip Drop" from ?958. At least five L&S oldies became later Top "0 hits: "I (Who have Nothing)" (Tom Jones), "I?m a Woman" (Maria Muldaur), "On Broadway" (George Benson), "Spanish Harlem" (Aretha Franklin) and "There Goes My Baby" (Donna Summer).

By the time you read the first page, the main character, known as "S," has already stolen the volatile titular liquid from a criminal gang and begun to boil some of it up so he can drip it into his ear for its psychotropic properties. Thereafter it becomes a double cat-and-mouse tale as the gang hunts down "S" while "S" gets hired by an art collector to find a missing artist who can cast the liquid into a sculpture. Meanwhile, nobody really knows where this liquid comes from or what...
