Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Here a fine novelist turns the circus of California life inside out in a novel which is brilliant, incisive, distinguished -- and perverse. His people are so exotic, so extraordinary, that at first they seem unreal -- yet they can be recognized as the natural outgrowth of the abnormal conditions under which they live. A new Messiah walks on the waters for the news reels; nudists dance in the moonlight for the Mayor of the city; a woman with a fondness for murdering her men experiments on her latest lover with a delightful new poison; a man kills himself because he has had every other thrill; a Bostonian forgets Boston for a mad moment."--Flyleaf.
