Lewis Sinclair and the Gentlemen Cowboys - Large Print by Denise Fick (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

A missing brooch. A face set in cement. This is not your average music festival.

Lewis Sinclair, a stalwart and tender country musician, is about to take the stage with his band, the Gentlemen Cowboys, at the premier U.S. country music festival when his girl dumps him for the Cowboys' shifty manager. When that same manager ends up at FallFest's walk of fame with his handprints--and his head--in cement, Lew finds himself on the top ten most wanted list instead of the music charts.

With the help of his loyal Cowboys and the close-knit festival staff, Lew must clear his name before the killer gets away--or strikes again.
