There’s a 3-member burglary crew around Los Angeles targeting homes under fumigation tents. The press dubs them, the Tent Gang.

They’ve been successful, in and out with no problems. Until the night a security guard catches them and is shot and killed for his efforts.

Lou Crasher the dynamic, amateur PI is working with the guard’s mother to bring the murderer to justice…legal or otherwise.

But behind the scene’s there’s a fourth member of the crew. One who doesn’t go on the excursions, preferring to stay behind the scenes, working the internet, and spying on the other team members.

When Crasher begins investigating, things change for that member. They can’t have someone trying to take them down and hence, the book title Don’t Shoot the Drummer comes into play.

When not drumming with local rock bands, Crasher manages the warehouse where band practice sessions take place. It’s a careful walk between all these endeavours. Can he manage it all?
