American music legend Dolly Parton and best-selling author James Patterson partnered up for Run Rose Run, a Nashville-set mystery novel about two singers — an older, jaded icon and a young newcomer with a dark past. With the book, an accompanying country album of the same name that brings those characters' songs to life.
