The year is 1957 in San Francisco. Sam Slater is a lifetime minor league baseball player for the San Francisco Seals. The Seals have just one more season left as San Francisco is about to become a major league city. The Giants are coming to town in 1958 and the Seals will be displaced. Sam has come to the end of his baseball career and is going to join the private detective agency of his best friend. When his friend is brutally murdered, Sam must go it alone and try to find out why. Along the way he is swept off of his feet by a beautiful Elvis-obsessed TWA stewardess named Amelia Ryan. Sam and Amelia try to unravel the mystery together. Sam’s best friend, Jimmy inadvertently saw something he shouldn’t have. Sam and Amelia have pictures in their possession that have crime families in San Francisco and Chicago very worried. Then a young woman Sam has been searching for is found dead on the beach. Suddenly, Sam and Amelia find themselves in danger. On dark and foggy San Francisco nights, trouble is lurking just around the next corner.Read the reviews!
"Messel keeps his readers at the edge of their seats as he unveils plot twist after plot twist. Last of the Seals will inevitably leave readers anxious for the next installment in the Sam Slater Mystery Adventure Trilogy." --JJMason, Amazon Reviewer
"I devoured the book." --From the TBR Pile
"The three threads of retiring baseball player, the lore of one of the most storied minor league teams and the budding romance are combined to make a story that keeps your interest. Some can read it just for the romance, but baseball fans will have an affinity for the story. Many future major leaguers, including the great Joe DiMaggio, played for the Seals and the sadness of the bittersweet loss and then gain of a professional team will tug at the heart of all baseball fans." --Charles Ashbacher, Amazon Reviewer
"I couldn't put it down and read it in one day." --Pennsylania Reader
