From Publishers Weekly

In Dorf's tantalizing novel, a flower child of the sixties awakens from a 20-year catatonic stupor to find that her high school sweetheart, convicted of pushing her off a cliff, has escaped from prison and is making his way to her .

From Library Journal

Who pushed Lana Paluka off a 200-foot cliff, and how did she manage to survive? Emerging from a 20-year catatonic state, will she be endangered by what she knows? Jack Wells, reporter for the Westchester Herald , knew Lana and her friend Ethan back in 1969. As he begins to investigate her case, skillful flashbacks bring to life his teen memories of Woodstock, hippies, and purple haze. Jack discovers the secret vices and virtues of the friends' intertwined lives and begins to see, hear, and remember from a new perspective. The author of A Reasonable Madness ( LJ 9/1/90) combines mystery, mysticism, and murder in a story whose vivid, believable characters make the reader care about what happens to them. Mystery Book Club and Literary Guild selections.
