Ghost Dog

The Alice MacDonald Greer Mysteries, Book 2

The latest installment in the Alice MacDonald Greer Mystery series finds the intrepid sleuth caught up in the intriguing world of Texas country folk music when one popular artist is found dead in a swimming pool and another goes missing.

The body of folk icon Annie Temple is discovered just before a concert at the chic recording studio and retreat of Twin Springs, and police suspect a young singer-songwriter, Tessa McElroy, of the murder. It seems that Annie recorded a commercial using Tessa's signature song without her permission. But Alice has concerns about the business practices of the recording studio - and owner Ray Gimble's strange obsession with killing an engaging stray dog.

Alice is also hired to help a local rancher deal with the abandoned belongings of Blanton Geddes, the fabled bad-boy singer known for sporadically disappearing - except this time, he's left behind not only his truck but also an unpublished novel and recordings of a new song cycle.

Set against the rustic beauty of Texas Hill Country, Ghost Dog features lively dialogue, quirky characters, and heartfelt music as the small-town lawyer unravels an old mystery to solve a new one.
