A Gypsy Good Time is a 1992 noir detective novel by Vietnam War veteran Gustav Hasford and the last novel he completed before his death in 1993, at forty-five years old.
He meets Yvonna Lablaine, an attractive, red-headed outcast from a prominent Hollywood family, and falls in love.
One day, however, after a brief but passionate romance, Lewis finds Lablaine dying at his door, murdered.
He then embarks on a quest involving drug dealers, mobsters, and Hollywood moguls in order to find the truth about what happened and to take revenge on the culprits.
The texts of the two war novels and an excerpt of A Gypsy Good Time were publicly available at the website for at least a decade,[5] but the site has since been redesigned, and Hasford's cousin, who manages the site, has stated he "likely won't be reposting the novel" there.
