When the Music Fades to Murder then the Singer must Die (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781942756767)

Private investigator Ham McCalister has teamed up with Drew Thornton, a friend and fellow refugee from the Las Vegas Police Department. They complement each other nicely. Ham, with his tendency toward escapist fantasies, relies upon the pragmatic Drew to keep him focused. Drew, a "walking weapon in heels," depends on Ham to keep her explosive temper in check. Their combined abilities are put to the test when producer Ronny Damon pays them a staggering fee to investigate the most bizarre case of their careers: someone is systematically murdering artists who've signed with Ronny's label and carving their initials into their cheeks.
Complications arise when the pair discovers that Drew's boyfriend, legendary singer-songwriter Russ Porter, is both a potential victim and a potential suspect. The deeper they dig, the more they realize that there's more to their client than meets the eye--and that they may have to make a decision that isn't in his best interests.
