Guitarmerston North Books are proud to present the audio version of Dead Man’s Axe - Book 1 of Bing Turkby’s Guitar Store Mysteries, a cosy mystery series.

Set in a lightly-roasted version of Palmerston North, Dead Man’s Axe follows Dana, the owner of the Pick Me Guitar Store, along with her assistant Brody, and her cat Paws McCartney, as they attempt to track down a killer.

Gene Stevens owns a gorgeous rare guitar – his favourite ‘axe’. He wouldn’t be seen dead without it. Until one day, he’s seen dead with it.
Somebody has murdered him with his own axe, and left it lying next to him, covered in blood. He’d be rocking and rolling his grave if he could see it now.
Guitar store owner Dana Osborne is determined to track down the killer. She’s joined by her young employee Brody, and guitar store cat Paws McCartney.
