<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Jimmy Buffett is one of the great contemporary singer/songwriters, and it's hard to imagine a citizen of Planet Earth unfamiliar with such classic hits as "Margaritaville." Jimmy has also written novels, children's books, memoirs, and a stage musical based on Herman Wouk's <i>Don't Stop the Carnival</i>, and his family-friendly concerts almost always sell out to audiences comprised of a mix of dedicated Parrotheads, casual fans, and newbies. <p/>In <i>The Great Filling Station Holdup</i>, editor Josh Pachter presents sixteen short crime stories by sixteen popular and up-and-coming crime writers, each story based on a song from one of the twenty-nine studio albums Jimmy has released over the last half century, from Leigh Lundin's take on "Truckstop Salvation" (which appeared on Jimmy's first LP, 1970's <i>Down to Earth</i>) to M.E. Browning's interpretation of "Einstein Was a Surfer" (from 2013's <i>Songs from St. Somewhere</i>). <p/>If you love Jimmy's music or crime fiction or both, you'll love <i>The Great Filling Station Holdup</i>. Mix yourself a boat drink, ask Alexa to put on a buffet of Buffett tunes, kick back, and enjoy! <p/>Table of Contents <p/>Introduction by Josh Pachter <p/><i>Down to Earth</i> (1970) <br>"Truckstop Salvation" by Leigh Lundin <p/><i>A White Sport Coat and a Pink Crustacean</i> (1973) <br>"The Great Filling Station Holdup" by Josh Pachter <p/><i>A1A</i> (1974) <br>"A Pirate Looks at Forty" by Rick Ollerman <p/><i>Changes in Latitudes, Changes in Attitudes</i> (1977) <br>"Tampico Trauma" by Michael Bracken <p/><i>Son of a Son of a Sailor</i> (1978) <br>"Cheeseburger in Paradise" by Don Bruns <p/><i>Volcano</i> (1979) <br>"Volcano" by Alison McMahan <p/><i>Coconut Telegraph</i> (1981) <br>"Incommunicado" by Bruce Robert Coffin <p/><i>Somewhere Over China</i> (1981) <br>"If I Could Just Get It On Paper" by Lissa Marie Redmond <p/><i>One Particular Harbour</i> (1983) <br>"We Are the People Our Parents Warned Us About" by Elaine Viets <p/><i>Riddles in the Sand</i> (1984) <br>"Who's the Blonde Stranger?" by Robert J.
