Welcome to The Irresponsible Reader’s part in the Cover Reveal for Always the Dead by Stephen J. Golds! Before we get to the striking cover down below, I’ve got a few words to share about the book.

Book Blurb

Los Angeles, California. 1949.

Scott Kelly is a World War Two Marine veteran and mob hitman confined to a Tuberculosis sanatorium suffering from consumption, flashbacks and nightmares from his experiences in The Battle of Okinawa and a botched hit for Bugsy Siegel.

When his movie actress girlfriend disappears, he bribes his way out of the sanatorium to search for her.

What follows is a frantic search, a manic murder spree, stolen contraband, and a briefcase full of cash.

A story that stretches from the war torn beaches of Okinawa, all the way to the playground of the rich and famous, Palm Springs, California.

An exploration into the depths of L.A crime, PTSD and twisted love, this is a semi-fictional novel based around the disappearance of Jean Spangler.


And now…

The Cover

Always the Dead

Once again, Red Dog Press wows with a cover. They’ve got to have one of the better batting averages for covers out there, right?

As good as the cover is, I’m betting the interior of the book is better–you can pre-order this now at: Red Dog Press.
