    About this ebook

    For the sake of Ol' Blue Eyes, a pilot searches California for the woman they both love.

    When World War II ended, fighter ace Joe Buonomo didn't make it back for the parades. After nearly a decade adrift in troubled seas, he washed up in California, determined to re-claim his life. In 1954, he met Helen, one of the fresh-faced girls eager to break into Hollywood. They fell blissfully in love and got engaged -- until Joe's post-war past intervened, and he lost his fiancée.

    Years later, Joe's running an air freight business and doing the occasional odd job for a certain crooner named Frank Sinatra. One afternoon, Joe agrees to give Sinatra's latest honey a lift to Los Angeles, where she has a screen test the next morning. Not until she arrives at the airport does he realize it's Helen. After just a few hours together, Joe and Helen confess their old feelings still burn. But the next day, Helen never makes it to the studio. She's vanished into thin air. To find her, Joe will have to go up against the mob, the FBI, and the forces behind presidential candidate John F. Kennedy. The only catch is, who is he rescuing her for -- Sinatra? Or himself?

      This is an excellent read, one I can guarantee will not only hold your attention and capture your imagination, it will not allow you to put it down... until you're finished. The moment I started reading this book, I developed a love affair with Joe Buonomo and was transported back in time to 1960 Palm Springs, California. There is action and suspense and the book plays almost in a cinematic way as Joe stops at nothing to rescue the girl... Frank Sinatra's girl. I enjoyed the adventure, which was far from predictable at any time. I am now a true fan and only wish there was more of his work for me to read. I look very forward to Mr. Sandrolini's next novel.
