Torch Town Boogie (Music City Murders: The Harry James Denton Series Book 2)

Description

Former reporter Harry Denton is a few repo’d cars and one murder case into his fledgling private eye career just as the East Nashville Arsonist sears his way into the headlines.

The arsonist’s fiery rampage has targeted nineteen homes, with no injuries until the epic destruction of a magnificent Victorian mansion. This one claims the life of Nashville’s shrink to the stars, possessing an all-star clientele that includes Nashville’s biggest televangelist, country music royalty, and the mayor.

He’s also Harry’s ex-wife’s fiancé.

With two weeks till the wedding, pre-nups have been signed and wills made, leaving everything to Lanie, Harry’s ex—effectively making Lanie the prime suspect. Quickly realizing there’s nothing to do but woman up, she hires ex-hubby Harry to find the arsonist.

But she doesn’t come empty-handed—she has an incendiary clue for him: a letter she received, mailed to former patients of the dead man, revealing that the doctor’s been dining out on their agony, spinning tales at parties that named names and spilled secrets. Not only that, the letter writer has documented the doctor’s indiscretions and the secrets and mailed them to a confidential list of a dozen of Nashville’s elite.

That means twelve VIPs with a motive for murder. Clearly, it’s too juicy a case to turn down.

But even so, it has its surprises, revealing Harry’s own criminal side and leading to a bizarre twist—an unguessable secret buried in the doctor’s files. Harry’s new career path—dubious as it seems—reveals a murderer with a secret so big that even when he discovers who the murderer is, he doesn’t know who the murderer is. It’s possible even the murderer doesn’t know who the murderer is.
