Publisher's summary

How do you handcuff an invisible hit man?

Meet Max Malone—Nashville’s #1 homicide detective, barbecue aficionado, and consummate jackass. In just one week in May, a series of suspicious deaths propels Max to unravel a time-critical mystery. Aided by his ukulele-wielding partner, Vince Wilson, and brilliant beat cop, Helen Hanover, they pursue a self-righteous vigilante playing judge, jury and cunning executioner of targets in high and low places. A select task force scrambles to protect the public and prevent the relentless reapers's next hit.

Like so many in Nashville, Max is a frustrated songwriter. His vast collection of vinyl records and savant-like memory of hit songs provide a soundtrack to the race for answers through staggering revelations and the detective’s own crossroads.

In this extraordinary debut novel, award-winning songwriter and recording artist, Billy Sprague, exposes the layered M.O. of a human soul, and paints detective Max Malone, along with the reader, into the same desperate corner—where the only way out—means a risk-it-all leap of faith.

“A non-stop action page-turner with amazing twists and turns. Billy Sprague’s writing is spot-on and his storytelling superb. Told with the deft hand of a true Nashville insider.” (Brett James, Songwriting Hall of Famer with 27 #1 hits, including a Grammy for "Jesus Take the Wheel" sung by Carrie Underwood)
