Old Timer's Blues (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781729205662)

Nashville, Tennessee in the 70's was a sleepy southern town. Life Insurance and banking kept the city afloat. But it was also home to the Country Music industry, bolstered by the television show Nashville Nuggets and radio show The Tennessee Broadcast. The city fostered a strange sort of celebrity-one that was of the people, for the people. The big stars were just like you. But the blurred line between the wealthy stars and the common man came into sharp focus as violence struck right before Thanksgiving in 1972. Hedonistic hillbilly's high on the late sixties cocktail of mayhem and drugs break into a peaceful country cabin and leave two dead. This upends notions of safety and trust and leaves a small town locking their doors at nightCountry Star Clyde Jones never cared about being rich and famous. He was happy living in his small cabin out in the country. If you met him by chance on the streets of Nashville, you'd never know he was a bona-fide country music star, made famous by his flailing fingers on the banjo. But, sure as spring follows winter, every Saturday night Clyde stepped out on stage to play live for fans in Nashville and more listening on the radio. Thousands knew who he was and when he was performing. Two knew where he lived. Detective Harvey Clinton never much cared about country music, but when Clyde and Emmy Jones are found murdered in their cabin, he is pulled into lives of Nashville's country music stars, their fans and the killers who call his city home. They made their names with heartfelt lyrics and an approachable, just like you kind of celebrity but their money made them targets in a world of crumbling security. Solving the murder that rocked Music City would take Harvey closer to the gritty heart of his city than he had ever been before.
