The Lie of Old Knives Dennis Anthony

When the son of a wealthy businessman disappears from Navy boot camp, reporter Rice Channon is sent to investigate. What he finds is a confusing whirl of lies, misdirection, and threats. In early 70s Chicago, Rice meets weary hippies, a half-ass mystic, and a retinue of spirits who may want to help him. Or console him. Or kill him. Everything is a jumble, but one thing he knows for sure: someone wants to do him harm and will not stop until he hurts bad. Or is dead. Sometimes the certainty of lies is the only truth.
