Description

Chasing more than treasure.

Travel back to the sun-soaked streets of 1970s California in this lighthearted,

slice-of-life detective novel. Thirty-five years have passed since the SS Rex,

a popular gambling destination for the citizens of LA, owned by the equally

popular Tony Cornero, was robbed for a million dollars, a treasure that was then

lost in the Santa Monica Bay. When part-time private investigator Kit O'Banion

is called in on a new case for his detective father, what should have been a simple

money drop leads to murder, blackmail, loan sharks, and a treasure hunt.

As Kit unravels a mystery that hits surprisingly close to home, he

rekindles a long-awaited romance with the lovely Jacquie, his childhood friend

and novice investigator. As the two fall effortlessly in love, they spend their time

surfing, sailing, and hosting big family gatherings. That is, when they're not

uncovering clues, chasing down leads, and navigating treacherous dealings with

the Mafia.

Full of intrigue, humor, and heartwarming moments, Cornero's Gold

will take you on a nostalgic trip that keeps you guessing at every new discovery-

the perfect page-turner for fans of Psych and Magnum P.I.
