Description

"Conversation With A Dead Man" is an experimental novel, one that tests whether the narrative in an 800-page murder mystery can be contained almost exclusively in dialogue among the book's three principals. It begins with the murder of Country & Western star Sonny Weathers outside his Memphis home late one evening in 2012. His assailant, a complete stranger, appears to have been motivated by an on-line wanted poster that put a $25,000 price on Weathers' head. Weathers' widow, Barbara Whitehead, believes the poster was the work of more than one person and that clues to their identities can be found in the transcript of an interview conducted by journalist Marsha Cobb in the days leading to Weathers' murder. The far-ranging interview touches on The Adams Family, a progressive political movement Weathers helped initiate; on the shortcomings of efforts to rewrite America's past in the name of modern partisanship; on the impact of middleclass tax reductions on the richest Americans; on the difference between voter fraud and rigged elections; on Weathers' theory of who's behind the collapse of America's public education system; and on a variety of other opinions that might well have placed Weathers' in someone's crosshairs. "Conversation With A Dead Man" provides the transcript, as well as commentary by Marsha Cobb, and invites readers to decide for themselves who had a hand in Sonny Weathers' murder by proxy.
