Subject: Folk in fiction: Such a Killing Crime
This ad in Sing Out! looks interesting:
Such A Killing Crime, A folk noir mystery featuring Joe Talley, by Robert Lopresti.
Greenwich Village 1963: Hootenannies are all the rage, Bob Dylan and Joan Baez are young fresh faces, and a gifted folk singer has just been murdered in Joe Talley's club, The Riding Beggar.
Tom Paxton is quoted as saying, "Spooky. If I'd known he was watching us all so carefully, I'd have behaved much better."
From Kearney Street Books, in Bellingham, Washington ("publishing books by or about music or musicians").
