Good introduction to the writing of Campbell Armstrong

This is the first novel of Campbell Armstrong's that I have read & it will not be the last. It truly was a mystery that did not reveal itself until the last couple of chapters. Part of the intrigue is feeling the frustration of Harry Tennant (the main character of the story) as he tries desprately to claw away the cobwebs that envelop his memory. What appears to be a drug induced amnesia from Harry's alternative lifestyle in 60's San Francisco, gradually reveals itself to be more sinister. It should be mentioned that Harry had been living a recluse's lifestyle in upstate New York until his world collapses and a journalist, Alison Seagrove enters (following a human interest story), thrusting a photo containing him and four fellow hippies that he has no recollection of. What follows is a trek accross the USA that has significant ports of call throughout for Harry & Alison,with the former slowly but surely putting the puzzle of the photograph's relevance together. Reading passages a second time at the completion of the novel, I picked up hints that led to Harry's condition which were very well disguised. All in all a tremendous read.
