by Kinky Friedman

Roadkill (Kinky Friedman Novels) Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

The Chicago Tribune calls him "a hip hybrid of Groucho Marx and Sam Spade", and People magazine has said, "Kinky Friedman is to the detective novel what Frank Zappa is to rock and roll: a gleeful gadfly who delights in offending purists....There's no stopping him. And who wants to?" Now the unstoppable creator of the cigar-chomping, whiskey and wisecrack — loving, Greenwich Village cowboy detective named — what else? — Kinky Friedman strikes again with his tenth off-the-wall mystery caper.<P>Who would slap an Indian curse on a good ol' boy like country singer Willie Nelson? Probably the same person who's been shooting into Willie's hotel room and sending the cowboy crooner death threats. Could it have something to do with the medicine man who got run over by Willie's tour bus? If anyone can find out, it's ace troubleshooter — and troublemaker — the Kinkster!

Synopsis:

Who would slap an Indian curse on a good ol' boy like country singer Willie Nelson? Probably the same person who's been firing shots into Willie's hotel room and sending nasty notes promising the cowboy crooner a one-way ticket to the big rodeo in the sky. Could it have something to do with the medicine man who got run over by Willie's tour bus one dark night? If anyone can find out, it's ace troubleshooter and well-known troublemaker Kinky Friedman--on the road again in his tenth wickedly funny, off-the-wall mystery caper.
