Description
Theft of a tune…
Oliver Gulliver is the small-town lawyer, mayor and widower bringing up his two teenage daughters single-handed. He can just about cope with the pressures of solo fatherhood until the night his eldest brings home something even the dog would sniff at.
C C Gilley is his name – one-time rock idol, full-time alcoholic. But love gives the burned-out star another change to shine, and he is as determined to make a comeback as he is to prove himself worthy of the mayor’s daughter.
When Gilley’s latest ballad suddenly becomes a megahit with a major record company, Gulliver drops all the wills, divorces and speeding tickets for the case of a lifetime. Chasing a couple of rapacious rogues through the labyrinthine maze of music copyright law, the case explodes into murder…
