In 1903, the Packard Motor Car Company hired foreman Tom Fetch to drive an automobile across the United States from San Francisco to New York City, a feat never before achieved. Fetch and two companions - an elderly reporter and a rebellious mechanic - faced numerous obstacles: deserts, mountains, mud, unpredictable weather, the scarcity of gasoline, the lack of roads west of Denver, and the jeers of folks who dismissed automobiles as playthings of the rich. And Fetch wasn’t alone in the attempt. Another motorist had left San Francisco to travel overland on a dare. It became an unofficial race to reach New York first. But the competition had a three-week head start. In Four Wheels Good, Dan Spencer presents a grand tale of daring and humility, triumph and disappointment, and the true meaning of success.

San Francisco, 1967: It's autumn, and the Summer of Love is over. The hippies have fled to rural communes while a rash of bad drugs and runaways taints the Haight Ashbury neighborhood. Then comes the grisly murder of a drug dealer. A swift arrest and conviction follow. Few notice. Except for Evan Dunne. His brother's drug-related murder in the Haight comes as a shock. His brother didn't fit the mold of a dealer. He was a husband, a father, a straight arrow. The acidhead killer can't even recall the crime. Nothing adds up. Then Evan discovers his late brother's diary. The journal describes a grand conspiracy against the counter culture that might have precipitated the bizarre murder. With Haight Street decaying around him and the Vietnam War looming in his future and shadowy men seeking the diary, Evan risks his life to expose the alarming conspiracy.
