You can run, you can hide, but you can never leave your past behind.

“Steven A. Finly’s final novel of The Hipsters Trilogy —“The Cocaine Diet”— is one hell of a thrill ride back into the 1980s and a true page turner.”   -- Pamela Jaye Smith, award-winning writer

Story: It’s been eleven years since Detroit Municipal Police Detective Gil Nelson first infiltrated the city’s underground drug syndicates, and he’s had enough. Now retired from the force, Detective Nelson has become a successful novelist, writing about the mind-bending crimes he once solved.

However, when a narcotics dealer washes ashore on a California beach along with millions of dollars of cocaine, Nelson’s newly laid-back lifestyle is put on hold. Called back into the force, Nelson takes on the case, and when he uncovers the dead man on the beach was declared "deceased" five years ago, he quickly realizes this is no ordinary investigation. After all, you can’t die twice. Or can you?
