Many Words Press is proud to present Murder in Nashville, the second book in the captivating Deirdre Mystery series by William Baer, famed author of the Jack Colt mysteries. During her Grand Ole Opry debut, a country music starlet is mysteriously abducted. Supermodel and amateur sleuth Deirdre maneuvers herself into assisting a skeptical MNPD detective. Soon, she finds herself immersed deep in the heart of Nashville's darkest corners, navigating a tangled web of intrigue and resistance. Can she solve the case before the music stops?
Baer, who has worked in the New York City's fashion district, showcases not only his depth of knowledge of the fashion industry, but also of the country music scene, and Nashville and its landmarks and history. He weaves an intricate, fast-paced, and spellbinding narrative that takes us through Nashville, Knoxville, Galveston, and the surrounding towns and areas. In Murder in Nashville, Baer once again proves he is a master of suspense and intrigue.
PRAISE FOR WILLIAM BAER'S JACK COLT MURDER MYSTERY SERIES:
William Baer brilliantly mixes all the human emotions. . . . The layers, the depth, the characters, the intrigue, and the references to local settings all captivate and draw the reader in. I love books like this! A rarity! Five stars!
- Robert Leon Davis, Reader Views (Five-star review)
A brilliant debut novel . . . precise prose, perfect pacing, stunning imagery, complex characterization, grand historical and cultural contexts, and a superb sense of place.
- Hollis Seamon, author of Somebody Up There Hates You
Not since Donna Tartt's The Secret History have I read a novel as mesmerizing, engrossing, and delectable as William Baer's New Jersey Noir. In prose as fast-moving as a bullet, Baer compels the reader to keep flipping pages more and more rapidly. The writing is taut and gut-wrenching.
- Terri Brown-Davidson, author of Marie, Marie, Hold On Tight
With a head for crime and his own set of scruples, Jack moves effortlessly through the seamy underbelly of the state he loves. . . . [T]his is a can't-put-it-down thrill ride.
- Publishers Weekly (Starred review)
Writing is crisp, sarcastic, and wryly funny. . . . Characters are authentic and realistic. Dialogue is brisk and to the point.
- Robin Farrell Edmunds, Forward Reviews (Five-star review)
