Maison d'édition: Publishdrive

Synopsis

A macabre masterpiece staged amidst a Texas vinyl collectors’ convention.  The legendary “King Spin” lies dead, surrounded by a chilling tableau of Blue Note jazz LPs, each a specific pressing, each placement a cryptic clue.  The Vinyl Vigilante has arrived, and the music world will never be the same.Dr. Lena Rasmussen, a music historian haunted by her family’s own shadowed past, recognizes the killer’s twisted artistry. Each murder mimics a lost recording session, a vinyl recreation of a moment of injustice buried within the music industry’s corrupt history. Partnered with jaded Austin detective Noah Conley, Lena dives into a world of shady record dealers, obsessive collectors, and whispered rumors of payola scandals and silenced artists.  Every rare groove hides a potential motive, every spin of the turntable brings them closer to a killer who speaks in the language of music.As Lena and Conley navigate the treacherous vinyl scene, they uncover a conspiracy spanning decades, a clandestine network of power brokers whose fortunes were built on exploitation.  Lena’s own grandfather’s legacy intertwines with the dark heart of the industry, and she realizes the Vinyl Vigilante isn't just seeking revenge, they're conducting a symphony of retribution, exposing the truth one record at a time.  From forgotten Sun Records rockabilly sessions to the smoky backrooms of long-gone jazz clubs, the past is resurrected, its ghosts demanding to be heard.The Texas Vinyl Throwdown becomes a battleground, the auction a stage for the Vigilante’s grand finale.  Amidst the chaotic frenzy of collectors and coveted LPs, Lena races to decipher the killer’s final message hidden within the grooves, a musical code leading to the ultimate target, the architect of a decades-old empire built on lies.  But the truth, like a scratched record, skips and repeats, revealing a shocking twist that will leave you breathless. Can Lena and Conley stop the music before the final deadly spin?
