Ruby Tuesday
by Baron R. Birtcher

Baron R. Birtcher has once again produced the kind of hardboiled novel that grabs you by the throat and doesn't let go. A book rich with characters and dialogue so finely drawn they will stay with you long after the last page has been turned. When Mike Travis sails his yacht into the tropical harbor of Kona, Hawaii, he expects to put LA Homicide behind him; to let the warm emerald sea wash the blood of years from his hands. Instead, he finds his family home ravaged by shotgun blasts, littered with drugs, and the bodies of a dead rock star and his groupies. And then it gets worse. Searching the island for answers, Travis discovers that someone is out there ahead of him. And more people are dying. But all there is for him to go on is the rumor of a lost studio recording by one of the world's most infamous bands - a tape that could be worth millions. Filled with uncommon atmosphere and style, Ruby Tuesday brings to life the sometimes seamy back streets and dark underbelly of a tropical paradise, and the world of music and high finance; where wealth and greed are steeped in sex, vengeance and murder.
