Summer of '79 by Darren Sapp

This is exactly the kind of book I hope to find each summer - Amazon Reviewer

For fans of Stand by Me and Stranger Things.

Devil's Backbone dirt road weaves through tall East Texas trees. The eerie Claymore mansion sits silently along the path. Thirteen-year-old Kevin Bishop and friends plan to spend their summer swimming, playing baseball, and erecting a massive fort in the nearby woods. Their daily journey requires a bike ride down that road and by that mansion-the site of a gruesome unsolved murder near the turn-of-the-century. They stumble upon evidence to solve the mystery as unforeseen adversaries make this a summer they'll never forget.

This coming-of-age tale will take readers down memory lane with plenty of suspense to keep the pages turning. This was the time when kids drank from hoses, arena rock ruled, and cutoff jeans were normal attire. The sleepy little town of Mead Creek never expected a summer like the one of 1979.

After serving as a yellow shirt on the USS Theodore Roosevelt, Darren Sapp earned a Master of Arts in History with a focus on World War II special operations. He holds a black belt in Shurite karate and teaches self-defense to women and children. Discover more at darrensapp.com.
