It is September 1957, and America is waiting to meet the Edsel,
Ford’s top-secret new automobile, whose promotional campaign has
redefined the word
hype. Sam McCain, lawyer, detective, and car
fiend, has been dreaming of the Edsel for months. But when the sheet
comes off Ford’s new creation, the car is a nightmare. Pastel colored,
bulky, and with a distinctively ugly grill, the Edsel draws snickers
instead of applause. But in case the dealership owner’s day isn’t going
badly enough, one of the cars has a last surprise in store: a body in
the trunk.
She is the beautiful young wife of the district
attorney, and Sam knows she deserved better than to end up dead in an
ugly car. As the local police bungle the investigation, Sam quietly digs
into the death—and finds a secret in his city that could be even more
disastrous than the Edsel.
