Cold Cold Ground

by Frank M. Young

It's the summer of 1968. Four high school graduates contemplate the long, hot summer ahead. They face an uncertain world of protest and unrest. One of the group concocts a bank heist. After all, who'd ever suspect four layabout teens of such a crime?It seems like a clean job until too many loose ends tangle up, and a local detective puts the pieces together and wants in on the action. Humor and suspense combine with a knowing tone that captures the heart of small-town America in the turbulence of the late 1960s. "Cold Cold Ground" is young adult noir that lays bare the ground zero of the Baby Boomer generation.
