Dugan Heywood - an ex-journalist turned church musician - faces a new challenge in the staid university town of Grayston. When one of its prominent citizens is found dead, the police find a handy suspect in a young man with a criminal record. A man who not long ago was at odds with Dugan himself. But now the jailed suspect has turned to his old nemesis for help. And there are many others, some of them rich and powerful, who might have wanted the victim dead. In a small town that still holds secrets, are an ex-reporter's investigative skills honed enough to find the real killer and clear an innocent young man's name?

"Like his hero, David Barber loves a good mystery, and here he's written one. A slow burn of red herrings, plot twists and surprises that will keep you guessing until the end."- Wilson Coneybeare, author of the dystopian political thriller A Feast of Wolves

Person
David W. Barber is a longtime newspaper journalist, musician, composer and the internationally bestselling author of Bach, Beethoven and the Boys; Getting a Handel on Messiah; Bach, Beethoven and the Grrrls; Bach, Beethoven for Kids and nearly a score of other books of humorous classical music history and literature, including the speculative fiction collection Atonement and other stories. Hotshot is his third Dugan Heywood mystery novel, following on the heels of Hedshot and Mugshot. In a varied career, among David's more interesting jobs have been short stints as a roadie for Pope John Paul II, a publicist for Prince Rainier of Monaco and a backup singer for Avril Lavigne. He learned (though not very successfully) transcendental meditation from the same maharishi who taught The Beatles.
