Flip City

Linda Burrows

Flip City is the story of fifteen-year-old child model, James Daniel Ross, as he comes of age in 1970-a time of free love, dead rock stars, and serial killers. Escaping the psychiatric facility where his affluent father has placed him, James trades its restraints, prescription meds, and therapists, for freedom, illicit drugs, and the friendship of street kids surviving in the psychedelic shadows of Old Town, Chicago. But when one friend goes missing, James finds himself in an edgy cat-and-mouse game with a John Wayne Gacy-like serial killer whose victims are blond teenage boys. Will James be the killer's next victim? Or will the killer become James's?

Praise for this book

"Flip City is a splendid, bonkers fever dream of a thriller. Part beatnik, part Kesey, part jazz, this is a novel with a unique and marvelous voice. It's not to be missed."
