Here's a few crime novel suggestions for Bill Denton to
consider if he's making a reading list for his Music and
Murder panel at the Bloody Words Conference in Toronto. I am
not including the usual suspects such as Kinky Friedman, Bill
Moody, Ace Atkins, John Leslie and Charlotte Carter.
The Man with an Axe - Jon A. Jackson - Fang Mulheisen and a
jazz sax player in Detroit Specimen Song - Peter Bowen -
fiddle-playing Metis in Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Quebec,
Montana and Washington, D.C. This is my favourite in the
Gabriel DuPre series. Silent Conspiracy - Lee Meadows -
Missing black singing group in Detroit Boundary Waters -
William Kent Krueger - Famous singer/Father C&W legend
The Music Lovers - Jonathan Valin - Disappearance of
collectible LPs Straight No Chaser - Jack Batten - Toronto
lawyer helps jazz sax player track down his missing horn
Wendell McCall (Ridley Pearson) series - ex-musician who
hunts down missing musicians so they can collect royalties of
which he gets a percentage Jesse Sublett series - Austin

Kent Morgan in Winnipeg who is Still Looking for Chet Baker
