Description
Chuck Cave knows the value of an oath. When he promised to look after his war buddy's children, the words become a solemn bond.
Now, that pal's daughter Selma is all grown up, leaving the heartland to go to school in Los Angeles. Things seemed to be fine, until Selma's mom reveals she hasn't called home in weeks.
This is the mean old 1970s, a time when devils wear pleasing faces. Now, Chuck is coming to Los Angeles to find his goddaughter.
Heaven help any devils who get in his way.
C. C. Blake's first novel is a thriller set in the surreal world of the 1970s. Packing his standard punch of dynamite characters, intense situations, Blake presents a thrilling crime adventure.

Person
C.C. Blake has lived across the United States, starting in the suburbs of Detroit, to Massachusetts' second largest city (Worcester) to the country's seventh largest city (San Antonio, Texas, that is). He's has a variety of jobs, working as a substitute teacher, the graveyard shift dishwasher at a haunted Denny's, lab research monkey and teaching assistant at a second tier college. Currently, he works as an automation consultant for a chemical company on the Northeast side of SAtown (which isn't as Hellish as it sounds).
Blake's most popular character, irrepressible adventurer Chuck Cave, has appeared in over two dozen stories, including the 2005 Man's Story 2 Story of the Year Award winner "Chuck Cave and the Vanishing Vixen." The character's supernatural thriller stories (which began with the seminal "Cave and the Vamp") are all being released as a part of Vampires2.com's initial foray into e-books. These new versions are presented in expanded and revised versions, all are the author's preferred texts. Be sure to collect them all!
In addition to his pulp stories for the 2-Empire (Man's Story 2, Vampires 2, Androids 2 and Paranormal Romance 2), Blake's fiction has appeared in several anthologies, including Unparalleled Journeys II (from Journey Books Publishing) and Fearology: Terrifying Tales of Phobias (from Library of Horror Press).
