"One Dead Fiddle Player" is a contemporay mystery set in a small, quiet, rural town. Cole Bascom, the fiddle player, was murdered in a careless way, as if his life and death meant nothing. There is a ready group of suspects. The fiddle player made as sweet music with a woman as he did with his fiddle. And, like playing the fiddle at a Saturday night dance, when one tune was over, he played another. Was he killed by a betrayed husband? A rejected lover? A spurned lover? Or did some new evil slithering through the undergrowth kill the fiddle player? The fiddle player's boyhood friend, Roy Thibideoux is now the sheriff. And he must find out who killed the fiddle player. As Roy searches for the killer he learns secrets about this town, awakes old ghosts, makes his own deal with his devils, feels the sadness of old loves and the promise of new loves, and he faces a new and deadly threat to his town.
