AFTER THE FEDORA is a noir suspense thriller with comedic overtones. The sequel to THE FAT LADY SINGS is set in the present day with a tip of the missing fedora to the classic lone wolf detective. Sports betting private investigator Byroan Dexter is knocked out by a home run ball. He wakes in the hospital to find that the street musician that sang over him there has disappeared with Byroan's fedora. Persuaded by a stack of cash and a choke hold that nearly renders him unconscious again, Byroan sets out to find the street musician and get back the fedora.
