Reviews:
--"God bless the Baby Boomers, for they have sinned. Read the book and find out how and why." Pamela Jaye Smith, Award-winning novelist.

Story: Detective Gil Nelson and Wade Adams are back, and this time they're the ones being hunted.
When a biker gang member's body is found hanging from a tree by his ankle, his head submerged in a river, the police know this is no run-of-the-mill murder.
Six years after taking on Detroit's drug-dealing hipster underground, Detective Gil Nelson is called into action again. It's 1975 and the stakes are far more deadly than in the late 60s. There's a fortune to be made as rival motorcycle gangs seek to take control of the lucrative pleasure drug trade sweeping North America, and the bodies are piling up.
However, as Detective Nelson digs deeper and deeper into the biker's gruesome murder, he unwittingly uncovers a new drug organization that will stop at nothing to keep its identity a secret.

Editorial Reviews

I thought book one in the trilogy (Wasted) was a great read, but book two (High Life) topped it in terms of suspense and tension. Really looking forward the book three. The detail of the bygone times is spot on.

Writer, editor - Bob Bellemare

"If you like crime / murder mysteries, and want to know what it was like in the 1970s, then this book, and the first book in the trilogy (Wasted) are meant for you. Lots of action, intrigue, second-guessing, good-guys and bad-guys, sex, drugs, rock-and-roll, and the KGB. Really looking forward to book three."

professional - Gary Finly

Excellent follow-up to the first book in the Hipsters Trilogy ("Wasted"). Really enjoyed how all the characters had grown and changed over the course of the two books. And there's lots of action, twists, and turns that made it a page-turner. Looking forward to book three in the trilogy.

North Port Book Club - Lori Garrapy

"High Life and the Hipsters Trilogy novels are not only great murder mysteries, but captivating exposes of the 1960s psychedelic drug revolution through to the cocaine-fueled 1980s."

Emmy-wining producer and writer - Richard Lowlry

"What a trip, literally. Book one took you on a journey back into America's 1960s drug wars and sexual & cultural revolutions, and now HIGH LIFE sends you spinning into the 1970s, and into a world of exciting characters that have to battle their way to the end. Can't wait for book three.
