San Francisco. August 1966. If you're going to be murdered in San Francisco, be sure to wear some flowers in your hair¿ Danny O'Day came to San Francisco to write songs and play his guitar. Just like his idols, the Beatles-the hottest pop combo on the radio. Now Danny is dead, found with a Halloween mask stuck to his bloodied face-a mask that resembles one of the Moptops. A rooftop sniper, a self-professed beatnik named Tina Gone, and the sinister Beatles bootleg 'skeleton' LP may be the keys to O'Day's murder, and other recent killings. Suddenly, two San Francisco PD homicide inspectors are confronted with a trail of death that leads fatefully to a ritualistic execution, and a clash of armies on a fog-bound night. As the murder investigation twists in the wind, the Beatles themselves arrive to play a contested concert at Candlestick Park. It's enough to make anyone blow their top... Flip Your Wig is a story of people living in prisons of their own design, told with the robust creative spirit of the Sixties counterculture. Roy Chaney's first novel, The Ragged End of Nowhere, won the Tony Hillerman Prize for best debut mystery set in the American Southwest. He is a member of the Mystery Writers of America. i
