Synopsis

“I’m here to kill you, Joe. Might as well get it over with.”

The beautiful rock star Sophie Tyler hires Joe to investigate a fraud. Sophie is a native of Austin, and fans call her the Hill Country Siren. A tabloid favorite, Sophie has left a trail of broken hearts from Austin to Hollywood. After a recent breakup with a younger boyfriend, Sophie is on the lookout for a new lover.

Joe solves the fraud case in a few days. It was Sophie’s ex-boyfriend. But then the ex is murdered, and Sophie’s manager disappears. Turns out, the manager has a murky and unsettling past. Disturbing childhood. Fake identities. Unsolved murders.

Joe finds a clue, and then another, but the skin on his scalp begins to prickle. He constantly checks his rearview mirror. He glances over his shoulder. He’s not sure who is following who, but it feels like someone is drawing closer.

Legend has it that sirens lure their lovers into trouble, and as Joe follows the missing money, he is drawn deeper into a maelstrom of lies, deceit, and murder . . .

“Joe may be a good CFO, but he’s an even better detective and carries the mystery like a seasoned professional.” - Kirkus Reviews
