From the Award-Winning author of Answer Death and Flip Side comes a story of betrayal and possible redemption. Ex-state cop Dan Spalding has a hell of a time keeping up with his record shop and watching out for hairy dog friends like old Digger Strickland. When Digger’s sordid secrets call up a decades-old evil involving evangelist and Senate-hopeful Darian Cole, Spalding needs all the help he can get. But a backwards message on an old record can only bring sorrow and ruin. But for who? Join Dan Spalding as he calls in his markers and picks up his guns for a dark and bloody showdown that will change the future of Ozark City and rip apart Dan’s world forever. The Marti Stahl saga begins here—and tears through Stage Fright before crashing to its stunning conclusion with Dead Beat !
