About the Book

Former NBC and CBS star Randall Franks, best known for his role as "Officer Randy Goode" on TV's "In the Heat of the Night" and as a country music personality, combines his love of murder mysteries and music in "A Badge or an Old Guitar." Big-hearted small-town police officer James Randall from McKinney, Georgia, finds his job in peril when Chief Roy Wilkes is forced to suspend him after he protects an abused boy from his malicious father. While contemplating his circumstance, a country song he records, "Is There More to Life Than This," opens an unlikely pathway to stardom; but even that route becomes rocky when he is charged with murdering Nashville's biggest producer, Tony Grayson. As he struggles to choose between the police path or that of country crooner, a band of allies joins in. Newly practicing attorney Ruby Ann Wilkes, seasoned private-eye Jacob Marley, and intuitive adoptive uncle Joe Benton work to outwit Nashville police detective Patrick O'Shields to prove Randall's innocence - and help him regain the confidence that has been erased by a lifetime of loss.
About the Author: Actor/Entertainer Randall Franks, "Officer Randy Goode" from TV's "In the Heat of the Night," has authored eight books with his latest non-fiction being "Encouragers III: A Guiding Hand" and his fiction murder mystery "A Badge or an Old Guitar." Franks is an International Bluegrass Music Museum Legend and an Independent Country Music Hall of Fame inductee. He began writing initially as an entertainment journalist while in college providing articles and press content regularly to publications such as Bluegrass Unlimited, the S.E.B.A Breakdown, the Singing News, Gospel Voice, Music City News, Country Journal and others. His focus on people features, travel stories, politics and government began in 2001, when he became a full-time print media journalist and columnist. Franks was awarded over 20 state and one national press association awards for his work. He completed his first book in 2003 with the award winning "Stirring Up Success with a Southern Flavor" co-authored with Shirley Smith. The project was featured in several state and national publications focusing light upon Catoosa County's Catoosa Citizens for Literacy for which it raised funds. Franks next devoted five years working side by side with Western film and Country music pioneer Ramblin' "Doc" Tommy Scott chronicling his nine decades of entertaining in "Snake Oil, Superstars and Me' along with Shirley Noe Sweisz. It was released in 2007. Franks followed this with a sequel to his first success, "Stirring Up Additional Success with a Southern Flavor." He began a project with his late mother highlighting her stories of childhood and some of his own centered around the Appalachian valley below the Gravelly Spur in the mountains of Tennessee in "A Mountain Pearl: Appalachian Reminiscing and Recipes," released in 2012. His next book came with the first in his series on Encouragement - "Encouragers I: Finding the Light." The series focuses on stories about everyday folks, acting and music stars which Franks sees as encouragers. Each book also includes hundreds of his personal celebrity photos and recipes from many of those featured in the series. That was followed by his co-authoring "Whittlin' and Fiddlin' My Own Way: The Violet Hensley Story" with Silver Dollar City Legend - Fiddle Maker and Fiddler Violet Hensley who marks 100 in 2016. Next came the second in his Encouragers series - "Encouragers II: Walking with the Masters" and the "Encouragers III: A Guiding Hand."
