About Music City Mayhymn:
How do you put a face on an invisible hit man?
Meet Nashville’s #1 Homicide Detective, Max Malone – barbeque aficionado and consummate jackass. In just one week in May, a series of suspicious deaths in Nashville propels Max to unravel a time-critical mystery. Aided by his ukulele-wielding partner, Vince Wilson, and brilliant street cop, Helen Hanover, they hunt a self-righteous vigilante playing judge, jury and executioner.
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.
“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.
