Foster Cane collects old blues recordings, the older the better. His current obsession is to track down an obscure harmonica player called The Oaxacan Kid. The search brings him to an estate sale in a predominately Hispanic neighborhood in Houston and that’s when things start to get tricky. Foster is thrown into a world of trouble and becomes the target of a ruthless Mexican Cartel when he stumbles into their web of drug smuggling and human trafficking. As Foster’s search for the mysterious Oaxacan Kid takes an unexpected twist, his enemies become ever more desperate to silence him and Foster is forced to fight to keep himself and the people he loves alive. “Fast-paced and gripping…” “A cool swaggering blues novel with a tonne of explosive adventure…” “Exciting and dripping with cool…” “Fans of Elmore Leonard will find a lot to like in Ricky Bush’s work. This story rolls along on the rhythm of rollicking blues music. Highly recommended…”

River Bottom Blues (The Crime Fighting Bluesmen)

Fahrenheit Press

Mitty Andersen knows that rising blues star Bobby Tarleton didn’t die of a heroin overdose. He’d blown enough blues harmonica notes with Bobby to know that he would never let anything get in the way of his music. So when he gets the news in the middle of his blues set at Little Queenie’s, he suspects a cover-up—and he’s determined to put his ex-investigative reporter skills to work to find out what really happened. Mitty hits the blues circuit with his “partner in chime,” Pete Bolden, and rounds up a posse disguised as a blues band. They gig the juke joints and blues bars throughout Southeast Texas and Louisiana, hoping to uncover the truth about Bobby T’s death. It doesn’t take long for Mitty to figure out that Bobby T just might be the latest in a decades long string of serial murders aimed at eliminating “those who play the Devil’s music.” Now Mitty must race against the clock to put an end to the madness before another harmonica player succumbs to a deranged psychopath who has managed to avoid capture for far too long.
