Blurb:
PI Red
Farlow dives headfirst into a hornets' nest of extremists. His new client, Hank
Tillman, only wants to get a shot at country music stardom. While playing in a
Georgia bar, Hank—known as Cowboy to his fans—stumbles into trouble. The kind
that kills. PI Red Farlow steps in to help him.
Hank’s song, Redneck Devil, attracts the attention of a violent group
called the Blue Magnolia. Its leaders want him to perform at their next hate
rally. But there's another, darker reason the Blue Magnolia wants Hank in its
fold. An elderly patient in a Florida insane asylum reveals a decades-long
secret that devastates Hank. It’s the worst kind of fake news. Can Farlow root out the truth? The PI has his own problems as he confronts a hired killer face-to-face.

Excerpt:
You
couldn’t help but like Hank. He smiled broadly and often, friendly in a wholly
Southern way. Which is why there was no easy way to explain what happened to
loveable Hank Tillman. But it did happen. How could he offend anybody? Not
easy, if you knew him. But he did.
Hank’s story
told a long and complicated tale for his number of years, a romance bitten with
tragedy, his life’s destiny crawling along like a rattlesnake on a hot July
afternoon. Yet, Hank himself smiled brightly. He always made most well-adjusted people feel good, whether he played in a honky-tonk or just talked while sipping iced tea on his mama’s screened front porch in Norman Park, Georgia. He preferred the sweet tea rather than bourbon during periods of hoisting himself up on the wagon for another short ride. Besides, his mother wouldn’t allow the hard drink in her house. Other times, liquor held on to Hank and wouldn’t let go. He tried Alcoholics Anonymous once. Didn’t take. Couldn’t take. Probably never would.
Hank’s story evolves from a crossroads in his life. There, he encountered some people who wanted to destroy him. He also met Red Farlow, who happened to be in the audience the night in Southwest Georgia.
Farlow worked as a private investigator with a checkered past in law enforcement and a real badass attitude. But, like Hank Tillman, Red was a pretty nice guy. Most of the time.
Cowboy’s story started in Nashville, Tennessee. If you asked Hank, he hoped it would end there one day.
