On the inside cover:
“The legendary Lone Star Cafe. A raucous little corner of Texas right in the heart of Manhattan, where every great country music star stops for a gig. At one time or another, everyone from the Rolling Stones to the Blues Brothers has jammed there.
But this night, Thanksgiving, is a different kind of jam. Larry Barkin of the headlining Barkin Brothers is found dead in his dressing room, his head bashed in with his own guitar and a two-dollar bill stuffed in his shirt pocket. And it's Kinky they call for help.
But Kinky— the fast-talking, cigar-smoking, cat-loving, reluctant hero-detective of Greenwich Killing Time— is disinclined to ruffle his tranquillity.
Then the manager of the Lone Star arrives at 199B Vandam with a strange piece of mail that had arrived at the club addressed to Barkin— the lyrics to "Hey, Good Lookin”— and Kinky is intrigued. If the missive is from the killer, they share an interest in Hank Williams.
When other Lone Star performers get murdered, Kinky finds it impossible to stay out of the spotlight.”
