When megamillionaire and imitation cowboy Rex Taylor
proposes building a country music theater in Scumble River,
everyone's ready to do the boot-scootin' boogie except
school psychologist Skye Denison. She's been asked by
Suzette Neal, Rex's assistant and a rising country star, to
investigate her mother's suspicious death twenty-seven years
earlier. No sooner does Skye agree to help than she finds
Suzette literally flattened — and very dead.
This has fast become a case of two questionable deaths, and
suspicion seems to be hovering over Suzette's inner circle:
Rex's jealous wife, a mysterious man in a black pickup
truck, and the sizzling-hot singer Flint James, who also
happens to have been Suzette's bitter rival for
country-western fame. With a honky-tonk full of suspects and
a tangled web of motives that stretches back two decades,
Skye has two options: Rise to the occasion or end up as flat
as a crêpe.
