Gary Blanchard
beloved, local musician
called Rubber Soul, written by Greg Kihn. The Beatles figure as major characters, and it takes place in Liverpool and Baltimore, MD. Greg was born and raised in Baltimore about the same time as me, so I know all the places he references there. It is supposed to be a mystery, but I'm 61% through and, though there was a murder, there doesn't seem to be much detecting going on. I guess they don't write 'em like that anymore.
