About this book
Sometimes the perfect shot requires patience, skill, and motive.
The grand opening of B-Sharp Vintage Records should be a time for celebration, but Tony DeLucca finds himself investigating another murder. This time, it’s local banker Roland Townsend, who police say caught a stray round on the first day of deer season. Tony and Brenda aren't so sure.
Even the lead DNR conservation officer on the case thinks it was wrapped up too quickly, and Tony's investigator instincts kick in. What authorities are calling an accident might be murder, and the list of people who had grudges against the banker is longer than anyone wants to admit.
As Tony digs deeper into Flat Rock's secrets, he discovers that in a small town during hunting season, a well-placed bullet can look like bad luck—unless you know where to look.
Vinyl and vengeance in small-town Minnesota.

Kevin Zelenka
Kevin Zelenka writes character-driven mysteries filled with small towns, complicated people, and the secrets they try to leave behind. Drawing inspiration from classic rock, Midwestern life, and a lifelong love of storytelling, he created the Originally Pressed Mysteries series set in the fictional town of Flat Rock, Minnesota. He currently lives in a suburb of Las Vegas, with his wife and twin sons. When he’s not writing, he can usually be found with a cup of coffee nearby and music playing in the background.
