From the Booking Desk:

Today’s cover reveal is a bit different. Clea Simon’s Hold Me Down is re-release with a new publisher, so the novel has been given an awesome new look. Since I previously reviewed this book, I’ll link to that review as well. If you haven’t already checked out this music-based mystery, you are missing out. Clea Simon knows the music industry, Boston, and writing mysteries–put the three together and you really have something special.

Jacket Copy:

Life and death. Music and murder. This is more than just stage fright…

Gal, a talented musician, has returned to Boston to play a memorial for her late friend. But when she sees a particular face in the crowd, she freezes on stage.

The next day, she learns that the man she saw has been beaten to death behind the venue – and her friend’s widower Walter is being charged in connection with his murder.

When Walter refuses to defend himself, Gal wonders if he is guilty. As memories of the past begin to flood back, she starts her own investigation.

To uncover the truth, she must re-examine her own life, her perception of the past, and an industry with a dark underbelly.
But what she discovers may prove hard to swallow…

Hold Me Down is a gripping and dark tale of music, love and murder.
