Publisher Description

A USA Today Best of 2022, and a Los Angeles Times Bestseller!

A Thousand Steps is a beguiling thriller, an incisive coming-of-age story, and a vivid portrait of a turbulent time and place by three-time Edgar Award winner and New York Times bestselling author T. Jefferson Parker.


Laguna Beach, California, 1968. The Age of Aquarius is in full swing. Timothy Leary is a rock star. LSD is God. Folks from all over are flocking to Laguna, seeking peace, love, and enlightenment.

Matt Anthony is just trying get by.

Matt is sixteen, broke, and never sure where his next meal is coming from. Mom’s a stoner, his deadbeat dad is a no-show, his brother’s fighting in Nam . . . and his big sister Jazz has just gone missing. The cops figure she’s just another runaway hippie chick, enjoying a summer of love, but Matt doesn’t believe it. Not after another missing girl turns up dead on the beach.

All Matt really wants to do is get his driver’s license and ask out the girl he’s been crushing on since fourth grade, yet it’s up to him to find his sister. But in a town where the cops don’t trust the hippies and the hippies don’t trust the cops, uncovering what’s really happened to Jazz is going to force him to grow up fast.

If it’s not already too late.

A Thousand Steps

What a fantastic book Jeff, maybe my favorite of yours yet!

Dr. Hermes ,

Lots of twists and turns

Perhaps I’m biased having grown up in Newport Beach and currently an Orange County resident. But, even if you have never been to either this is a fun book with unexpected twists and turns. I can picture each character, they really did exist in Laguna back then and many still call LB home.
Unexpected ending, a good read if you are looking for something that will keep your attention but doesn’t require your brain to think way too much.
