ABOUT LAST OF THE SEALS

The year is 1957 in San Francisco. Sam Slater is a lifetime minor league baseball player for the San Francisco Seals. The Seals have just one more season left as San Francisco is about to become a major league city. The Giants are coming to town in 1958 and the Seals will be displaced. Sam has come to the end of his baseball career and is going to join the private detective agency of his best friend. When his friend is brutally murdered, Sam must go it alone and try to find out why. 

Along the way he is swept off of his feet by a beautiful Elvis-obsessed TWA stewardess named Amelia Ryan. Sam and Amelia try to unravel the mystery together. Sam’s best friend, Jimmy inadvertently saw something he shouldn’t have. Sam and Amelia have pictures in their possession that have crime families in San Francisco and Chicago very worried. Then a young woman Sam has been searching for is found dead on the beach. Suddenly, Sam and Amelia find themselves in danger. On dark and foggy San Francisco nights, trouble is lurking just around the next corner.

Book Review:

            At first I wasn’t sure I would like this book; I mean a book about baseball…yuck…, Thatwas one of the things I was proved wrong about.  This book was so much more than that.  It had romance, intrigue, suspense, adventure, mystery, sports, murder, and much more.

            This book was intriguing and I enjoyed reading this book.  I would hardily recommend this book to anyone.  I give this book 4 out of 5 clouds.
