Summary
Zodiac, the brilliant second novel from the New York Times
bestselling author of the The Baroque Cycle and Snow Crash, is
now available from Grove Press. Meet Sangamon Taylor, a New Age
Sam Spade who sports a wet suit instead of a trench coat and
prefers Jolt from the can to Scotch on the rocks. He knows
about chemical sludge the way he knows about evil—all too
intimately. And the toxic trail he follows leads to some high
and foul places. Before long Taylor’s house is bombed,
his every move followed, he’s adopted by reservation
Indians, moves onto the FBI’s most wanted list, makes up
with his girlfriend, and plays a starring role in the
near-assassination of a presidential candidate. Closing the
case with the aid of his burnout roommate, his tofu-eating
comrades, three major networks, and a range of unconventional
weaponry, Sangamon Taylor pulls off the most startling caper in
Boston Harbor since the Tea Party.
