Armadillos & Old Lace

Kinky Friedman – singer and sleuth extraordinaire – decides it’s time to take a break from big-city murder and mayhem by transporting himself to Texas to play with his pet armadillo and to blow the city soot from his brain.

The Kinkster has scarcely arrived in the Lone Star state before his friend, Judge Knox, turns up at his ranch:
‘I want to talk to you,’ said Judge Knox in deeply conspiratorial tones, ‘about four little old ladies.’
‘Four little old ladies?’ I said. ‘Do they want me to join them in a quilting bee?’
‘No,’ said the judge. ‘They’re dead.’
A faded photograph is just the clue Kinky needs to unravel a devious scheme of revenge for personal wrongs and social snubs. Armadillos & Old Lace is Kinky Friedman in top form, mixing his irresistible irreverence with a great mystery.
