Inherent Vice: a novel by Thomas Pynchon 369 pp.
In the twisted world of a Los Angeles still nervous after the Manson killings, Larry "Doc" Sportello, a chronic drug using private investigator finds himself wrapped up in the search for a missing real estate mogul and tracking down a supposedly dead surfer band saxophonist. Throw in a large cast of quirky characters, improbable situations, police and government corruption, and a drug & crime syndicate called the Golden Fang that may actually be a tax shelter for a bunch of dentists. Confused? So was I. It all falls into place at the end with a large stash of heroin...or was it a t.v.?
