All the Talk Is Dead

From Kirkus Reviews Best Books of 2013 “The book’s filled with laugh-out-loud lines and dialogue. The author having a Charles Portis-like gift for writing” (Kirkus Reviews). Hotel concierge, Joel Wilson, has recently befriended the lobby pianist, Wade Farley and his path will soon change in ways he could never have imagined. Both have talent, ambition and big plans for other careers; Joel to be a film director and Wade to make it as a musician. But they'll need to go to great lengths to cut through the competition. Their scheme to hit the big time takes them to New York and kick-starts a dangerous game. Underestimating music mogul Lance Martin makes it a deadly one. He's the reason one hit wonders vanish from the face of the earth.
