St. Germaine is the fictional town in North Carolina that is the setting for Mark Schweizer's mystery novel series (The Alto Wore Tweed, The Baritone Wore Chiffon, The Tenor Wore Tapshoes). In the series, Police Chief Hayden Koenig solves peculiar crimes (usually murders) while spending his free time writing bad novels and leading the choir at the local Episcopal Church. The novels are heavy on the classical music and Episcopal liturgy. From Amazon.com:
- St. Germaine is a quiet little town in the mountains of North Carolina. Quiet until full-time police detective, part-time Episcopal choirmaster and aspiring whodunit novelist Hayden Konig begins his opus amidst murder and hilarious mayhem at St. Barnabas Church.
