In this follow-up to the trilogy, the three surviving 'generals' undertake their search to find Dahlia, along with recovering the last two of Ashley's songs which were co-written with her, and eight months' worth of Ashley's missing diary entries.
In between following the progress of the search, the story periodically flashes back to 1972, chronicling Ashley's three days on the lam with Dahlia in Australia's Kimberley Region… When at long last, the generals finally find her, they also find quite a mess. They put their talent for cooking up schemes to the ultimate test as 'Captain Delray' and the crew attempt a spin doctoring operation of international proportions on her behalf… with just a scosche of help from Dalia's late favorite 'dizzy sheila', of course.
