CRIME FICTION
Book Chapters by S.W. Lauden
Rock ‘n’ roll, rare guitars, vintage vinyl, and criminal mayhem.

“Write What You Know”
Music and crime fiction are two of my greatest passions. So, I created a series of books about a desperate rock band that turns to a life of crime.
The action revolves around the Sharp brothers and their quest to steal a rare Beatles record from a wealthy collector. Jack is fresh out of the Oklahoma State Penitentiary; Jamie runs a struggling record shop in Tulsa. The road trip that follows is the violent family/band reunion that neither of them wanted.

Here’s what a few talented crime authors had to say about That’ll Be The Day:
“Rock and roll, rare guitars, vintage vinyl and criminal mayhem — what more could a crime fiction and music lover ask for?” — Lisa Brackmann, author of Rock Paper Tiger and Black Swan Rising
“Lauden has the rare gift of staying out of the way and letting the story tell itself, drawing you in as he goes.” — Dana King, Penns River and Nick Forte series
“Pistol popping power pop pulp fiction. I loved it!” — Paul D. Brazill, Last Year’s Man and Punk Noir Magazine
