Buffalo Bayou Blues — George Wier

Houston, Texas may be the blues capitol of the world, but when aging blues musician and Vietnam veteran Willard “Cottonmouth” Dalton is asked to kill a man, only Bill Travis can sort out why and get to the bottom of a war between two competing blues taverns and discover the identity of who stands behind a seeming accidental death, an explosion, and a brutal murder -- all within a single day and night! Darkness, death and danger stalk the dirty piers of the ship channel and the back street jive joints, but Bill Travis is no stranger to any of them, as what unfolds becomes a deadly confrontation and a climactic fight for his life to the final bars of the darkest ballad of his career. George Wier is the author of the popular Bill Travis mystery series, as well as numerous other mystery, science fiction and steampunk novels. He lives in Austin, Texas, with his lovely wife, Sallie, two dogs, and two cats.
