Mark had talked to desperate people on the suicide hotline, but never to anyone like the mysterious Greta. In late 1974 she called almost every night he was on shift to talk about her violent, paranoid Vietnam vet husband. She wouldn't speak to another volunteer.

Mark couldn't stay detached. Greta didn't know that he was a pothead clerk at a liquor store, had told Mark that she imagined him as a therapist, a professor, even a priest. No one had ever depended on him like this. And her abusive husband already had struck her, drawn blood. Mark was afraid he would kill her.

Maybe she doesn't wear eye shadow like a 'decent woman,' but Hank thinks that the mysterious hippy selling trinkets at the Bay Area drag race might offer a clue to help him win ported cylinder heads for his beloved hot rod 'Cuda. Hank can't stand his supermarket cashier job, or life with his lonely, drunken mother; his 'Cuda is all he has.

Instead, the hippy furnishes a lead on a vastly bigger prize: the legendary Cuauhtémoc cup, missing since a Civil War era séance with a great Sioux warrior, and said to be charged with fearsome supernatural power.
