The Bass Wore Scales (No. 5 in the series) Where does a 500 lb. ÔÇ£born-againÔÇØ gorilla sleep? Anywhere he wants! For Detective Hayden Konig, things are going well. He enjoys his two jobs, heÔÇÖs independently wealthy, his girlfriend has agreed not to marry him, and no one has been killed in St. Germaine since Palm Sunday. In spite of all this success, Hayden has one more dream to realizeÔÇöhe longs to be a writer. As the organist and choir director of St. Barnabas Episcopal Church, he takes every opportunity to inflict his attempts at hard-boiled, musical detective stories on the choir, and, to boost his credibility, heÔÇÖs even purchased Raymond ChandlerÔÇÖs actual typewriter. It doesnÔÇÖt help. Summers in North Carolina are usually peaceful, but when Kokomo, the world-famous signing gorilla, comes to town, suddenly thereÔÇÖs a dead body in the church and all the evidence points to the great ape. Can Hayden figure out the mystery in time to save Kokomo? (Well...of course he can...)
