In a supplied dustjacket, unclipped (priced $4.50), with light wear to extremities, a thin adhesive strip on verso of spine panel, and three spots of adhesive on verso of each flap; presentable looking, but only Very Good. A late Crime Club title, featuring Detective Knute Severson of the Boston Police Department, working undercover as a hippie in order to infiltrate the ranks of the anti-war movement. He infiltrates the movement successfully, when "psychedelic bedlam" breaks loose after a hippie leader is found swinging from a noose in a church choir loft. Elusive in commerce. HUBIN, p.430.
