The first volume of a trilogy - The Come Back Trail - tells the bizarre story of a nightclub singer/guitarist playing at a Nevada casino in a small, corrupt town. It may be in the same state as Las Vegas but there the resemblance ends. Jimmy Wayne can sing and play guitar but as a songwriter he's nowhere until...
...until he accidentally kills his girlfriend during the course of a drunken sex game that goes horribly wrong. The following morning, after he sobers up, he discovers he has written his best song ever! A further series of events lead him to realise that he has to kill people to release his creative juices.
There's much more to it, he's in hock to a bigtime mobster who literally wants more than his pound of flesh and sends a couple of hitmen to get it. There's some great one-liners: "A verbal contract ain't worth the paper it's written on" and many many more. And, to give you a taste of the 'killer' songs, there's a scannable download inside the book.
I couldn't put it down and I eagerly look forward to books 2 and 3 of the series - Blood On The Tracks and All The World's A Stage. Lance
