Step into the 1950s with Sam McCain, a small-town hero navigating the shadows of Black River Falls, Iowa, in Ed Gorman's gripping mystery series, where heart, intrigue, and the quest for truth intertwine in every pulse-pounding tale.

Step into the vibrant yet turbulent world of 1950s Iowa, where the backdrop of small-town charm clashes with deep-seated secrets and societal anxieties. In the Sam McCain series, acclaimed author Ed Gorman invites readers to follow the titular character—a sharp-witted, love-struck investigator whose relentless pursuit of truth often places him at the intersection of personal desires and murky moral dilemmas. In "Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow," the third installment, a shocking murder rocks the quaint town of Black River Falls just as the looming visit of Nikita Khrushchev stirs tensions and suspicions in the community. As Sam grapples with his own romantic entanglements, he quickly finds himself entwined in a web of intrigue, where every clue he uncovers threatens to uncover not only the town’s buried past but also the fragile foundations of his own heart. With rich period detail and a keen sense of place, Gorman masterfully explores the themes of love, loyalty, and the quest for justice in a society on the brink of change. Will Sam emerge unscathed amidst the chaos, or will the weight of his discoveries force him to reevaluate what it means to love in a world fraught with uncertainty? Dive into the gripping saga of Sam McCain and experience a tale that promises mystery, passion, and an unforgettable journey toward redemption.
