1940's Hollywood detective Sam Rock might survive Summer's lure, the last days of Autumn and winter's grave, but he will struggle to welcome spring. THE SEASONS OF SAM ROCK is noir novel with a wry sense of humor. In it, Sam must find Summer Banning's missing brother, solve Autumn Moran's vicious murder and discover who's buried in an unmarked grave freshly dug in the back corner of an unkempt cemetery come winter. Driving his black 1938 Chevy coupe and sporting his ever present fedora, Sam moves with ease between the swank parties and the seamy-side of the glamorous Hollywood facade. Throughout the novel, he is shadowed by a murder of ravens - their beaks and razor-sharp claws perhaps responsible for some of the bodies he encounters - and Madame Marie Delacroix, a raven-loving, redheaded French woman whose husbands tend to die mysteriously. She believes Sam has something that belongs to her - a little black book he just might have to die for."
