About this book

In Blackjack, Nevada, Jimmy Wayne is a struggling singer performing cover songs to sparse crowds at a low-end casino. One morning, he discovers he has accidentally killed Wendy, his girlfriend. At the same time, he has written the best song of his career. Jimmy begins to question whether the act of killing has enabled his creative breakthrough, and considers whether he should pursue a full album. Torn between his ambition for success and his moral conscience, and burdened by regrets from his past, Jimmy seeks out the worst people from his history.
