Ruby Tuesday (The Mike Travis Mysteries) Kindle Edition

by Baron Birtcher (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.5 out of 5 stars 38 ratings
Former LAPD detective Mike Travis returns in a novel of sex, drugs, rock and roll—and murder—from the award-winning author of Roadhouse Blues.
 
The mystery has fascinated the music industry since 1977—the year when some tapes went missing from the Stone Blossoms’ final recording session for one of the most anticipated rock albums of all time. The band’s charismatic leader committed suicide on the same day.
 
Retired cop Mike Travis learns about the puzzling history in the worst way possible. After sailing from Catalina to his family’s old beach house in Kona, Hawaii, he discovers there’s been a bloodbath. Five victims have been murdered, including his childhood friend’s wife and a former Stone Blossoms guitarist, Danny Webb. And when his friend is suspected of going on a jealous rampage, it’s up to Travis to prove his innocence. 
 
Turns out Webb was involved in a multi-million-dollar deal—providing he could produce the lost tapes. Travis knows just how toxic greed can be, but even he’s not prepared for the violence to come . . . and just how close to home it will hit. 
 
“A fast-paced look at the dark side of music and greed. I couldn’t put it down.” —Brad Freeman, K-Hawaii Radio
 
“The climax is fast-paced, just how a detective needs to work when he finally puts it all together.” —Rapport magazine

    Birtcher is a terrific writer. This is the second book of his I have read and I intend to read them all. I usually don't read non-fiction but this is the second exception I'm glad I made.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Second Novel!
    Reviewed in the United States on September 30, 2017
    This is the second book in the series about an ex cop Mike Travis. Birtcher has a wonderful skill of making you feel like you are either in Hawaii or So California through his descriptions. Mike Travis has a crusty personality that is spot on if you have friends that are retired cops. Travis's personality cracks me up & I enjoyed the whole ride! Now on to my third Mike Travis novel!
