Samson's Deal: Jake Samson Mystery Series, Book 1

Jake Samson is an ex-Chicago cop, now living in Northern CA., living the laid back life, until a call from an old friend has him trying his hand at being a private eye. It all starts when a radical professors wife is found dead in Berkely. A twisted trail leads through the Bay Area's bizarre cultural labyrinth; from pop meditation ashrams to neo-Nazi rallies, to the startling, but all too human truth.
