Close Enough for Jazz

Alan Hutcheson

The son of Bohdran's Prime Minister is targeted for kidnapping. But it's Ted's guitar that gets snatched.

The tiny and quiet Middle Eastern nation of Bohdran is participating in a cultural exchange with the United States. Since Bohdran has essentially nothing to offer in the way of culture, their representative is Rimtan, the Prime Minister's troublemaking son, a musician of marginal quality. When he invites jazzers Ted and Jerry to his concert, they are confronted with members of a not very well coordinated terrorist group bent on kidnapping Rimtan. But in the confusion all they get away with is Sarah, Ted's precious jazz guitar. These terrorists have no idea what they just let themselves in for.

Boomerang

Alan Hutcheson

A crossbow wielding assassin, the Director of Central Intelligence, two jazzers, and a clothing optional ex-cheerleader are all chasing a boomerang with a hidden secret.

Now available on Amazon, both US and UK. Also available as an ebook from Smashwords, Amazon and Barnes and Noble!

Ted Hogwood's beloved Sarah, a Gibson jazz guitar, is in the window of Topp Dollar Pawn. The only way he can get the money to rescue her is to accept an assignment from the AABC, a not nearly official branch of the United States Intelligence community. He is partnered with Jerry Kwiatkowski, master of the Hammond B-3 organ, expert picklock and chronic flatulence sufferer, to steal a boomerang containing secrets that should have died with J. Edgar Hoover in 1972. It would be a simple job if only they knew what they were doing.
