In the vein of Harlan Coben and Lisa Gardner, Gary Gusick
takes readers on an explosive ride-along with Mississippi
detective Darla Cavannah, a Yankee transplant making her
name in the Deep South.
After performing at a local old-folks home, off-duty police
officer and part-time Elvis impersonator Tommy Reylander
smoothes out his pompadour, climbs into his pink Caddy, and
gets all shook up—fatally so, when a bomb explodes. Whether
he was killed for his police work or bad singing is a
mystery that detective Darla Cavannah is determined to solve.
Though it’s been several years since Darla (reluctantly)
partnered up with Tommy, she convinces her boss to let her
lead the murder investigation. As the new regional director
of the Mississippi Bureau of Investigation, Shelby Mitchell
can think of better uses for his star detective’s time, but
not even the most hardened good ole boy can resist Darla’s
smart, savvy persuasions. She soon embarks on a roller
coaster ride through the world of Elvis tribute artists
while tracking down one of the most bizarre serial killers
in the history of the Magnolia State. Aiding her pursuit of
the killer is recently reprimanded officer Rita Gibbons,
fresh from the trailer park and described by Shelby as “half
a licorice stick short in the manners department.” But
Rita’s plenty smart, even when this case takes their
suspicious minds in an entirely unexpected direction.
