Publisher's Summary:
There is a body in a gazebo, and the chief suspect is not long for this world.
Small-town lawyer and private detective Sam McCain is enjoying a cocktail party, dancing with a lovelier specimen than his five-foot-five-inch frame usually attracts, when the hostess confronts him with a problem the likes of which Good Housekeeping has never seen. There is a corpse in the backyard gazebo, and the party is definitely over.
The murdered girl was the twenty-year-old daughter of the town's Cadillac dealer, a troubled young woman with a self-destructive streak. The police focus their investigation on her drag-racing boyfriend, local bad boy David Egan, whom McCain agrees to defend. When Egan dies in a freak car accident, the case seems closed. But examining the hot rod shows a cut brake line - and a motive for a killing far more complicated than good girl gone bad.

Brilliant series from overlooked master storyteller!
This is a very special 'private eye' series build around a lawyer and special court investigator, Sam McCain, in a small town in the midwest (Iowa) in the fifties and sixties. I absolutely love this series for several reasons:
1. the wonderful immersion into a different time, spanning a decade from the late fifties to the late sixties. The descriptions are detailed, evocative, engaging and realistic. They are exceptionally well done.
2. The protagonist is a likeable average joe, who is easy to identify with and tells the stories in the first person. His back story is as engaging and interesting as the murder mysteries he gets involved in, and has become the main reason why I have become hooked on this series.
3. There are plenty of connections to the pop culture of the fifties and sixties, which is a bonus for any lover of music, books, cinema and culture of the period.
4. The mysteries are well crafted and keep you guessing until the end.
5. Every single one of the entries in these series is excellent without exception and well worth the read.
Give this a try, you won't regret it. I read all 9 books in 2 months and can't wait for the 10th entry, 'Riders' on the Storm', that will appear in October 2014! I hope Mr. Gorman gets the opportunity to write several more before he retires.
Five Stars
Read the whole series folks... It is great
Fun mystery fiction
This is a fun mystery novel. It's part of the Sam McCain series, which is set in Iowa in the 1950s and 1960s. One of the best things about the McCain novels is the portrait of small town life in that long ago era and the author's utilization of period details such as books, music, cars and current events.
In this book, small town lawyer and investigator, Sam McCain sets out to find a triple murderer. First he finds a girl's corpse in a gazebo at a party. Soon after, a James Dean wannabe and a cheating wife wind up dead. As McCain sets out to find the killer he encounters some of the best minor characters in genre literature--a local hippie writer, a ditzy secretary and a pair of Irish old maids. The best part of the book is a sensitive love story that Gorman pulls off with unusual compassion and understanding.
