Dead Folks’ Blues (Music City Murders: The Harry James Denton Series Book 1)

Description

Divorced, broke, and thiry-ish . . . Perfect resume for a private eye!

Sharp-tongued journalist Harry James Denton just got divorced . . . and fired. Oops. In this thoroughly satisfying Edgar winner, our witty, wry, hardboiled protagonist is nothing if not adaptable: he sets up shop as a part time car repossessor and private investigator. Since he’s new to both businesses, he’s barely scraping by— until an old flame knocks on his door.

Rachel Fletcher is Harry’s college sweetheart, the cause of sleepless nights and years of wistful longing. She’s reentering his life as a client, though—she’s married to a foolhardy doctor who loves to gamble. Apparently, the doctor’s risky addiction has plunged him deep into trouble with some shady characters who keep threatening his life.

Frightened, wealthy Rachel seeks out Harry in hopes that he can discreetly tail her husband and track down his would-be killers. But Harry soon learns that the doctor has a ton of enemies . . . and that vengeance will be swift.
