Murder Manual

Steven Womack is a scriptwriter and an Edgar Award-winning author. When he created the character of Nashville private investigator, Harry Denton, critics were elated. Mostly Murder says, 'Steven Womack has done for male private eye fiction what Grafton and Paretsky did for women operatives .' Harry Denton is behind on his rent, his phone bill, and his life. He is just about to close down his private investigation business when he finally gets a client. The job sounds like a simple one: photograph a famous self-help author with his mistress. When Harry finds him, however, the creator of Life's Little Maintenance Manual is very alone-and very dead. Now, instead of a detective, Harry is a murder suspect. If he can't track down the killer and clear his own name, Harry will be out of business for good. Through the voice of L.J. Ganser, the smart-mouthed detective and some of Nashville's most colorful operators step from the page.
