Fatal Fat Tuesday

FATAL FAT TUESDAY:  Mardi Gras' Deadliest Season is the first novel in the Johnny A-Train Musical Mystery series (91,200 wds). The storyline is about Brooklyn-born Giovani Alberto Triano, Johnny A-Train to his fans, and his mayhem-infused rise to fame.

Johnny, his band the Loco-Motions, and Delilah Jones, the band’s torch singer and the love of his life, have made quite a splash on the N'awlins scene. However, someone is out to spoil Johnny’s rise to stardom, and a string of murders ensue. The popularity of the band only increases with the notoriety. After a live interview on CNN, Johnny receives invitations for casino and club bookings in New York, Vegas, Chicago, and Atlantic City just to name a few. The murders follow wherever they go, and because of the group’s meteoric rise since the murders began, the police look upon Johnny as a prime suspect. Also, evidence involving him in the killings is being left for the police to find, so Johnny is forced to turn gumshoe … and he loves it. Death be damned!

"Are you kiddin’ me?” Johnny says. “The first day of Carnival season started out as frantic as always. However, if you were one of the crazies involved, it was considered normal. Difference was, this day turned out tragically for one of my guys, and began the deadliest season in Mardi Gras history. The Times-Picayune newspaper received an email after the shooting that partially stated 'Carnival Death Number One - Stay Tuned.' So, like Jack Nicholson famously said in the Hoffa movie, ‘A mans gotta do, what a man’s gotta do.’”
