California, LA — Larry O'Brien's Cornero's Gold is a literary triumph beyond the confines of action-adventure fiction, drawing readers into a realm filled with high-stakes historical events, thrilling action, and deep human emotion. Set against the captivating backdrop of Los Angeles, O'Brien’s novel offers an exhilarating ride through a tangled web of investigations, mysteries, and redemption, leaving a lasting impact on the literary scene.
In Cornero’s Gold, O’Brien transports us to the sun-drenched streets of 1970s California in this lighthearted, slice-of-life detective story. The narrative revolves around the quest to uncover treasures lost in Santa Monica Bay, once owned by Tony Cornero. When part-time private investigator Kit O’Banion is enlisted for a new case by his detective father, what begins as a straightforward money drop quickly spirals into a web of murder, blackmail, loan sharks, and an adventurous treasure hunt.
As Kit delves into a mystery that hits surprisingly close to home, he also reignites a long-awaited romance with the charming Jacquie, his childhood friend and budding investigator. Together, they effortlessly fall in love while enjoying surfing, sailing, and hosting large family gatherings—when they’re not busy piecing together clues, pursuing leads, and navigating dangerous encounters with the Mafia.
