Nashville Trade (Hardboiled Southern)

Nashville Trade (Hardboiled Southern)

A city on the brink. A damaged Vietnam Vet. And a senseless murder that's already solved. Until it isn't. It's 1976, and Jackson Trade has his own problems. He's been back from Vietnam long enough to get divorced, get fired, and crawl into the bottom of a bourbon bottle. So when a grieving father asks him to find out why his murdered daughter stopped calling home, Jackson agrees to look into it. It's a question without an answer, and any answer will do. Easy money, right? But as he noses around the edges of the closed case, he finds a mix of bad assumptions and mistaken identity, together with another murder that has a neighborhood afraid for its children. Before he knows it, Jackson is in a race to catch a killer where no one is looking. Can Jackson stop his own downward spiral before another killing turns Music City into Murder City? Or will a craven killer walk away, free to murder again? This is hardboiled Southern. All. Day. Long.
