"The action is jet-fast, and the satiric commentary on country western stars and fans is wonderfully wicked." --Library Journal

"Westlake has established himself as one of the hippest, coolest, funniest mystery writers out there." --New York Magazine

"If there is any funnier mystery novelist around I can't imagine who it might be." --USA Today

Sara Joslyn travels to Branson, Missouri, "the new Nashville," to cover the trial of Ray Jones, a country-western star accused of rape and murder. She's also hoping to scoop her former employer, the sleazy tabloid, the Weekly Galaxy. All the rest is "a comedic cornucopia ... [that] lampoons journalists, contemporary music, entrepreneurs, and the IRS, among others," according to The Armchair Detective.
