Donald H. Carpenter

The fifteenth volume of Nashville: The Mood.  A popular preacher struggles with "domestic issues" among his flock. The Church of Mesmenology continues its march to prominence and influence. Lawyers fail to impress clients or do their jobs. Office politics and personal disputes. Sleazy meetings across class lines in questionable places. Is Nashville simply Music City? The capital of Tennessee? Or is it something else? A state of mind? A sea of corruption and hypocrisy? A world of happiness, ordinariness, vicious gossip, shady pasts, and political skullduggery? Where politics, religion, sex, malicious talk, and crime cross paths in such a way as to be almost indistinguishable? Prepare to enter the psychological underbelly of Nashville.
