"It is 1968. Walter Bullitt is good at keeping secrets, no matter how many drugs he's on. A part-time U.S. government freelancer, he stays busy testing new psychotropics on himself when he's not trying them out on unsuspecting citizens, at the request of his supervisors. Walter's conscience never interferes with his work - at least not until he's asked to help sabotage Bobby Kennedy's presidential campaign. Big problem. The ghosts who've moved into his apartment aren't proving to be much of a comfort.".

"Then two outre femmes fatales show up and frogmarch Walter out of Max's Kansas City before the Velvet Underground can finish their first song. The ladies want his help. They have a mission. They need to save New York - both his, and theirs."--BOOK JACKET.
