The
short summary is that Dead Man's Drive, book one in the Rot Rods
series, is a 1950s Urban Fantasy about a hot rod-riding zombie. The
bigger
blurb is below:
La Cruz looks like an
average Southern California small town in the 1950s Post-War Boom, but it has
some dark secrets - and its guardians. They are the supernaturally adept
drivers of Donovan Motors, including former Okie bank robber Wooster Stokes,
Zoot Suiter and part time shaman Angel Rey, college girl and burgeoning
sorceress Betty Bright and --their latest member -- an amnesiac zombie known
only as Roscoe. The drivers stand between La Cruz and chaos with only their
wits and some fast hot rods to
help them hold back the darkness. But an onslaught of demonic attacks heralds a
new danger. Reed Strickland, a ruthless tycoon with unholy assistance, seems
intent on making La Cruz his. Only Roscoe and the drivers can stop him. But
Strickland's allies stir painful memories in Roscoe and even an undead gearhead
is no match for his own past. Roscoe will need to overcome his memories, stand
with his friends and keep his motor as the battle for La Cruz begins in a tale
of white hot vehicular action, arcane Noir and Hollywood horror that reveals
the rotten heart of California's Golden Age.
