Nobody's Chain Lays Straight (Paperback or Softback)

When The Buckle Of The Bible Belt Gets Undone...

Nashville P.I. Harry James Denton always suspected there was a seamy, dark underbelly to the bright lights and rhinestone glitz of Music City. But until he's hired by an aristocratic, old-monied Belle Meade family to find their runaway daughter, he had no idea of just how sleazy and smarmy the It City could be...

Stacey Jameson is troubled, drug-addled, and haunted by a history of family abuse and secrets. To say she's hooked in with the wrong crowd is an understatement of deadly proportions. When Harry goes after her, the pursuit takes them both into darker places than either of them have ever seen.

This fourth installment of Womack's award-winning, best-selling Music City Murders series was nominated for both the Shamus and Anthony Awards.

Nobody's Chain Lays Straight holds a place somewhere between Roman Polanski's Chinatown and Raymond Chandler's The Big Sleep.

This heart-pounding, twist-and-turns suspense thriller is guaranteed to keep you up at night. Be prepared to lose a little sleep as you join Harry James Denton as he does a deep dive into the dark underbelly of one of America's favorite and most unique cities in Nobody's Chain Lays Straight.
