Synopsis

Nashville P.I. Harry James Denton is looking for another case--and he gets one when the magnificent mansion across the street from his apartment is consumed in a suspicious fire. The blaze has all the scorch marks of the East Nashville Arsonist, a phantom firebug whose burning desire seems to be driving gentrifiers out of Harry's funky, rundown neighborhood. This time, though, the modus operandi includes murder.Short-listed for the Shamus Award, Torch Town Boogie is the second in author Steven Womack’s award-winning Nashville P.I. series.
