The Justin Gates Chronicles: California Nightmare

The Justin Gates Chronicles: California Nightmare carries readers to the outskirts of Southern California during the 1960s to follow a trio of teenaged boys as they come to terms with their developing maturity and go on the adventure of a lifetime involving a serial killer who lurks among the good people living in the quiet desert community of Hesperia.

As local law enforcement struggles with the minimum amount of evidence available and the limited forensic resources of the time, four suspects emerge: Manny Huddleston, a local auto mechanic; Sol Kaufler, the high school principal; Phil Jacobson, a dude ranch general manager; and Walt Levin, an auto parts shop owner. All appear guilty-one or more is-but only the cleverest amateur sleuths will discover which suspect is behind the murders before the end.

A lighthearted look at coming-of-age teenage angst combined with the dark aspect of a serial killer murder mystery, The Justin Gates Chronicles will delight you with its thrilling plot, rich characters, and honest, accurate account of life in America's Age of Camelot. Based on actual events, it is sure to appeal to anyone interested in suspense, personal growth, and the backdrop of a very unique era.
