trouble to Doc, but before he knows it he is caught up in a bizarre tangle
of motives and passions whose cast of characters includes surfers,
hustlers, dopers and rockers, a murderous loan shark, a tenor sax player
working undercover, an ex-con with a swastika tattoo, and a mysterious
entity known as the Golden Fang.
