About This Book
Imagine you are an aging over-the-hill country music star on tour in Texas with a murderous ex-con White Supremist on your trail, armed and ready to kill you for past transgressions.
That's the premise of The Beast From the Back of the Bus. It's a mystery/suspense story set in the country music world, but it's not the typical Nashville tale of fans and babes and pampered stars partying and winning awards. It's a gritty, existential story of murder, avarice and retribution.
Country singer Hank Barnett is on tour across Texas in his Silver Eagle bus with his band. Barnett was a big star in his younger days, but now he's in his fifties and the hits have stopped coming, and he's a bitter, vituperative alcoholic who hates himself and everybody else. He doesn't know it, but he is being pursued by a tattooed, bearded ex-con named Wilson Packard who lives in a redoubt in the hill country near Austin and who wants to murder him.
