Dwight Holly is J. Edgar Hoover's strong-arm goon, implementing Hoover's racist designs and obsessed with a leftist shadow figure named Joan Rosen Klein. Wayne Tedrow, ex-cop and heroin runner, is building a mob gambling mecca in the Dominican Republic and quickly becoming radicalized. Don Crutchfield is a private-eye within tantalizing reach of right-wing assassins, left-wing revolutionaries and the powermongers of an incendiary era. Their lives collide in pursuit of the Red Goddess Joan and each of them will pay a dear and savage price to live history.
