Summer of blood

In May 1967 two Australian police officers are sent to San Francisco to locate a missing Australian student. Although they cannot act officially as police officers in California they can be private investigators and consult with local police if required.

Summer of Blood by Dave Warner is a story of hippies and drugs and music and crime. Dave Warner is a musician and each chapter heading is the name of a song from the 1967 - some I knew plus many that I was unaware of. This is a gritty, fast moving story of the endeavours of John Gordon and Reg Shearer as they attempt to locate the missing student and investigate a number of murders along the way as well as survive the different lifestyle they encounter.
