David enjoys a high school flashback with an old flame but is left with more questions than answers.

David’s up for a giggle when wild-card therapy client Bennett ropes him into running therapy sessions at a comedy conference.

Treading a fine line between self-preservation and sleuthing, David calls in his growing posse for backup and some questionable group improv.

In 1985, The National Cowboy Poetry Gathering had its inaugural conference in Elko, Nevada. David was there to help put on a show, but when your cast keeps losing members, it's hard to know how the show can go on.

When a musician client asks David to accompany him to the 1982 US Festival, death is the last thing on his mind. Angry groupies can be passionate, sure, but murder? Nah. David’s optimism is swiftly rocked and rolled when exotic drugs and death appear as supporting acts and the festival mood shifts. Even the lovely Lilah can’t distract David from reality. His client needs help. He has to act. Flexing his sleuthing muscles, David noodles around from one thing to another. Info is sketchy, and time is running out—the bass isn’t the only thing dropping as more bodies are found.

While reluctantly attending a therapist conference, David is relieved to find escape from his colleagues when a random stranger asks for his help. But curiosity can be a curse. He’s unwittingly drawn into a family feud, and doesn’t need to attend classes to know these never end well. Sure enough, people start dying, and a cryptic note, snarky siblings, and an intimidating wine magnate all conspire to test David’s sleuthing abilities—and his breaking-and-entering skills. A class for this might be more beneficial.

It’s 1984, and David is off the couch once more and providing support to the team-building efforts of a publishing start-up at the LA Dodgers Adult Fantasy Camp in Florida.

David joins therapy client Bennett, a volatile but goodhearted author, at a mystery writers conference in Las Vegas, where attendees dress up as famous detectives and participate in an innocent whodunit game.
