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 !.
