Letting Go Robert L Stave

Bob Stave's remarkable story begins on the University of Minnesota campus and the West Bank, otherwise known as Seven Corners. That's where a druggie was murdered by an undercover narc named Captain America. It was a center of disillusionment and unrest, with culture clash cultivated like germs in a petri dish. When downtrodden lawyer Peter Hill is hired to find a missing girl, he calls on photography professor Smith Kearns for assistance. Their search pits them against Captain America and leads them to the jungles of Mexico where they encounter Amazon drug dealers, deadly Federales, a revolutionary bandito, and a one-eyed CIA agent. Peter is forced to wrestle with his legal ethics, while Smith must face the demons that have followed him since two harrowing tours as a war photographer in Vietnam. Their journey culminates in a final showdown that will leave your heart racing and mind reeling. As Country Joe and the Fish raved: "Put down your books and pick up a gun we are gunna have a whole lot of fun ... one, two, three, four ... what are we fighting for?"
