In this debut of a new mystery short story series, Cary Street decides to take a break from suffocating life in New York City to visit a friend in Millinocket, a small town tucked in the mountains of Maine. Life is going nowhere fast, and maybe a trip to where life is slow and easy might inspire change. While there some old friends come up to record their new album, a last ditch effort to revive a dying career. What unravels is a train wreck of lies, secrets, money, anger, and eventually a loaded gun to permanently fix things. Even the magic of rock'n'roll can't stop the rushing snowball. When things get worse one drunken night life stops making sense. When a reunion turns into a nightmare Cary finds himself as the private investigator to the rock stars. Author Aaron Joy is an upright bassist and former music blogger in Maine. He's played with the Brooklyn blues-trio Tired Wings and Maine alt-country group Willy Martin & The Woods. This is his attempt to write a realistic story based on musicians he knew facing real world problems, versus so many stories where every musician is a glamorous millionaire lapping up acclaim. Sometimes some just want to play the drums, get paid and be offered something other than donuts and a gun as compensation.
