Publisher's Synopsis
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.
