Carlos Montoya crossed one line by forsaking his culture's unquestioning faith. He leapt past another, as he entered California illegally during the free-love, irreligious 1960s. There, three women tempted him to abandon more of his limits.

If you're astounded by claims of pedophiles running the government, the thought of micro-chips doing the backstroke in vaccines, and the belief that the earth is truly flat, wait till you meet Stan and Bud. The two detectives argue over everything crazy or sane, while trying to solve multiple missing persons cases that span two decades. Along the way they encounter Covid-19, preachers claiming holy healing magic, a man who channels his deceased canine, a brush with January 6 madness and a body or two residing at the bottom of a mine pit in Navajo country, New Mexico. - And, despite the chaos, a sweet romance. --- Nineteen years ago, a bizarre mother-son preaching team, Sarah and Jeff Lamb, disappeared. Now, in 2020, with the country in a Covid-19 panic and an election frenzy, Jake Christian goes missing. Jake's hot wife, Hannah, asks detectives, Stan and Bud, to track him down. They aren't first rate sleuths, and both have feelings about Hannah. She's either lovely and caring or a manipulative bitch.They also have long-distance relationships with Donald Trump. One idolizes him. The other thinks he's an American traitor. As the election nears, between arguments, the two men and their computer whiz, Melanie, piece things together.Meanwhile, there's a body down in that mine pit, yet to be found. Could it be Jake's?Wait Is it one body or TWO?" Make up your mind. Dead? ... Alive? One? ... Two?... Who?
