Roy Carpenter, blues-playing harmonica man
in 1957 Nashville, knows great music when he hears it.
He also knows a dangerous woman when he looks
at her . . . and finds her looking back.
Beautiful Sallymae's got a brutal husband,
just the kind of guy to wind up dead
with Roy taking the fall.
Here is a sharply observed novel steeped
in the atmosphere of character and place,
of sexual passion and the blues.
