When Peter Van de Carr stumbles across a body outside a Grateful Dead show, he decides that solving the murder is his last chance to save any idealism left in the Deadhead scene.  The only problems are: he has no idea how to conduct a murder investigation, the cops don’t want his help, and after a lifetime of drugs his mind is about as sharp as a Frisbee.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs Peter stumbles toward finding the killer of the little-known victim, an obsessive taper at the shows, he brings the reader with him through the seedy and humorous underbelly of the Deadhead subculture of the mid-80’s.   The world of endless drugs, burnt-out disillusionment, and ever-present paranoia of the Reagan regime form the backdrop to a crime that proves to be far more bizarre than even Peter imagined . . .\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA hilarious addition to the stoner noir genre, U.S. Blues has enough suspense to keep you turning the pages, and enough laugh-out-loud moments to make you root for Pete and his fellow “Guinea pigs of a failed experiment.”","brand":"US Blues Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47079224049904,"sku":"2940012988393","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940012988393_p0.jpg?v=1763574855","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940012988393","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
