Almanac Books and Music: ‘Summer Of Blood’ – Dave Warner

Musician and author Dave Warner has a new book Summer Of Blood due for release in October this year.
His publishers have released the following teaser for the book –
Get ready for a wild ride through the Summer of Love with Dave Warner’s newest crime novel.
Two Australian police officers travel to San Francisco and Los Angeles in the summer of 1967 in search of a missing young man, only to find themselves fully immersed in the world of music, free love, drugs and hippie counterculture. They soon realise this isn’t just any ordinary missing person investigation. A big gig is the perfect place to get away with murder, and their search becomes a thrilling journey through the seamy side of the 1960s counterculture.
This book is not to be missed for fans of gripping crime fiction and rock’n’roll.
To coincide with the upcoming release, Dave has created a playlist of cracking music from the Summer of Love in 1967. The playlist also includes a new song from Dave and Tony Durant, Summer Of Blood.

Greatly enjoyed After The Flood. Cheers
Having read Dave’s previous books and thoroughly enjoyed them, I look forward to reading this one. It is an era I remember well, I loved my time in San Francisco, and the music from the summer of love is a huge part of the soundtrack of my life. Cheers.
Ive read it and it’s a total ripper!! Couldn’t put it down. The music that is the soundtrack of those times is evocatively wonderful !!
