Description
Paul Slater, a mill worker in Furnass and former Green Beret sniper in Southeast Asia, travels upriver ten miles to Pittsburgh for a little adventure. There in the city’s Golden Triangle, coincidence—or maybe Fate, or Blind Chance—take over. Paul’s path crosses that of a local hippie panhandler who acts as a spirit guide to the big city; he becomes infatuated with a pretty, blond intern with a movie company filming in town; and he unwittingly becomes a suspect in a number of recent murders. The story reaches its violent conclusion when perception takes the place of reality.
