Hill Country Siren — Patrick Kelly

Joe Robbins is hired by a rock star to investigate a fraud and winds up on the trail of a serial killer.

"I finished Hill Country Siren in the middle of the night, which is always a good sign. I just love that Joe Robbins, the hero, is a CFO." - Patricia Little, CFO, The Hershey Company

Joe loved Sophie Tyler long before she hired him. She was a hometown hero, a musician who grew up in Austin and made the big time. Joe first heard her music in high school; he'd buy her albums and play them over and over, and dream.

Twenty years later, Sophie has left a trail of lovers behind her; she draws them in like a maelstrom, the outcome pre-ordained. When she hires Joe to investigate a fraud he solves the case in a couple days, but then the perpetrator is brutally murdered, and Joe finds himself pulled into a world of stardom, and enchantment, and the frightening path of a freshly awakened serial killer.

As Joe pursues the killer from Austin to Cabos San Lucas to Beverly Hills, he falls dangerously in love with the Hill Country Siren.

"I loved the live Austin music scenes, particularly Sophie Tyler's shows at Antone's and the Austin City Limits festival." - John Price, CEO OF VAST.COM
