For the tenth anniversary of its original publication, multiple award-nominated mystery author Brandon Barrows has specially revised his first novel, This Rough Old World trimming the excess and giving us a tighter, cleaner narrative that warrants a new title and cover!
Music, madness, and murder in the psychedelic sixties!
Los Angeles, 1968, a time of radical change for everyone but part-time private-eye Tom Ahearn, who's stuck in a rut of routine and self-pity. When Charlie, a hippy of the lowest order, offers a quick buck for what seems like an easy job, Tom dives head-first into a world of casual sex, drugs, music and the occult. He'll find himself rubbing shoulders with hippies, young Republicans itching for war, and slumming socialites bent on nothing less than completely reshaping the cosmos--all while unknowingly witnessing the nascence of one of the twentieth century's most notorious evils.
Genre: Mystery
