"'This remarkable novel is nothing less than a secret history of southern California—a radical past that might yet redeem our future."—Mike Davis, author of City of Quartz

A chance encounter with a faded "Wanted!" poster in a San Diego library sends journalist Jack Wilson on a wild adventure through southern California's radical past. As Jack searches for the truth about I.W.W. outlaw Bobby Flash, he uncovers a hidden history of real-life revolutionaries . . . and learns a powerful lesson about the importance of family in the process.
