Pigeon River
Blues
Written by Wayne
Zurl
Reviewed by Roy
Murry, author
A small country
town in Tennessee, USA, has a celebrity C.J. Profitt who sings the Blues to her
hometown friend the mayor. She is being harassed by some people that don’t like
her life style; and she has asked the mayor for protection.
The mayor volunteers
a non-Volunteer, ex New York City detective now Chief of Police, Sam Jenkins to
be her security while she is in town and doing a gig up the road at Dollywood
for charity. Sam is unlike a Robert Downey,
Jr.’s Sherlock Holmes.
He is sociable
and charming. Using deductive thinking, compiling
information from his contacts in the FBI, military, and media, he pieces
together the - who, what, when, why, and how an event will literally blow up
the charity at Dollywood.
C.J. Profitt’s history
as a Country Western Singer is the center of why this event was nurtured, festered,
and put into motion. Sometimes it’s the people you hurt that comes back to
haunt you, as it is in this novel.
Sam Jenkins police
work is the propelling motion of this fast pace read. Sometimes comical and
witty, his style works on the written page.
If you like
police TV dramas, this book will be as intense but more enjoyable because of Wayne
Zurl’s spiffy character Sam.
Notes:
Tennessee is
called The Volunteer State because they were the first volunteer in the War of
1812, another story.
Dollywood is in Pigeon
Forge, Tennessee and is the home to Dolly Parton’s Country & Western theme
park.
