Twenty Four Hours from Tulsa

by David McGrath

1960s recording star Gene Pitney decides to broaden his career beyond singing and takes on the career management of two young, innocent and naive pop stars. He helps them navigate the music business by battling to keep them out of the greedy hands of both a down-at-the-heels, small time record label owner as well as a scheming, predatory, self-serving multimedia magnate. The book is set in the mid-1960s in Los Angeles, Las Vegas, New York and small town Kenosha, Wisconsin. There is double-crossing, dirty dealing and sexual trysts balanced with family affection, honesty, loyalty and goodness all played out with the 1960s as the backdrop.
