Everybody's Somebody's Fool by Ed Gorman
Things go wrong for dangerous, young David Egan when he finds himself charged with the murder of the pampered but seriously disturbed daughter in the wealthy Griffin family of Black River Falls. They go fatally wrong the night that Egan crashes his black Mercury into a bridge at ninety miles and hour in a drag race outside of town - but no accident, it would appear, as the Merc's brake line had been cut.Struggling lawyer and sometime private eye Sam McCain finds himself, not unusually, hauled into the investigation by the incorrigible Judge Esme Ann Whitney.Jealous husbands, philandering spouses, jilted girlfriends, outraged parents, a long suffering wife - Sam does not want for suspects. Or for clues. It's the conclusive evidence that surprises him and that frostily ends the Indian summer in Iowa 1961.
"'Sweet nostalgic mystery..[McCain's] zeal makes him the kind of hero any small town could take to its heart.' Marilyn Stasio, The New York Times Book Review 'Gorman's delightful series...provoke[s] a bracing nostalgia for a time that was neighter as innocent nor as dull as is sometimes said.' Wall Street Journal 'No writer captures the mood of the 1950s middle America...better than Gorman.' Ellery Queen Mystery Magazine 'Gorman seems to have hit a mother lode with this series.' Publishers Weekly"
