Check out Kent Wascom’s “The Blood of Heaven” - historical fiction at its best.
Many of the historical texts I read cover corruption in the music business. Names, places, scams (creaming someone’s load of cutout records, mob retribution on bootleggers, mob takeovers of publishing rights, writing down one song for the station’s logbooks while playing another artist on the air, “payola” (which never ended), sweetheart contracts on civic venues, caberet laws in the modern era to restrict live music establishments, booking scams, militant Leftist thuggary at Woodstock, etc.).
