"The magical King of the West has been killed in California, and his assassin is one of the multiple personalities in the head of Janis Cordelia Plumtree--but which one? Sid Cochran is a one-time winemaker who blames his wife's suicide on the wine god Dionysus, and believes that Dionysus is now pursuing him. Janis and Sid escape together from a mental hospital in Los Angeles and--pursued by ghosts, gangsters, and a crazy psychiatrist--set out for San Francisco and the wine country to try to restore the dead King of the West to life. The god Dionysus himself is a player in this perilous game--and not on their side. But when the spirits flow and even the gods lose all inhibition, you have to save the world just to survive!"--Back cover
