About This Item
323 pages. Royal octavo (9 1/4" x 6 1/4") bound in original publisher's quarter black paper spine with red tilt lettering to spine over black boards with gilt red lettering to spine in original jacket. First edition. Private eye Kat Colorado hits the road with childhood friend turned country superstar Dakota Jones. Kat recalls that Dakota always did have rotten taste in men, but would any of them be bad enough to bomb the theater where Dakota is playing in Memphis, drop a stage light on her in Atlanta and shoot a singer who looks just like her in Nashville? As the two renew their friendship on the road and endure the scary adoration of desperate fans, Kat slogs through a trail of no-account men and boozy dives, hoping to find the perpetrator before Dakota sings her last song. When Kat Colorado receives a plea for help from a childhood friend she immediately flies out to Nashville. Dakota has been receiving threatening letters, but things are brought to a head, when a look-alike singer is shot dead in the studio where Dakota should have been. Condition: A near fine copy in a fine jacket.
