When Ronnie invites her friend and mentor Blackie Coogan to join her at the comeback concert of Match Margolis, the greatest tenor sax and jazz composer alive, she is not expecting a final very final performance. Match seems to owe money all round town, but some very powerful figures illogically don't seem to want to call in the debt. Much to the annoyance of Lieutenant Philly Post, Ronnie is retained by Sharon, Match's flamboyant and younger second wife, and finds herself entwined with San Francisco's shady underworld as the mystery deepens. Death strikes again, and Ronnie herself is in real danger. But from whom? And where and when will the murderer next strike?
Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Booklist
San Francisco PI Ronnie Ventana, an avid jazz fan, attends a concert by jazz great Match Margolis. At the end of his set, Match approaches Ronnie. To her horror, he's been stabbed and slumps to the floor, dead, before he can say a word. Not only does Ronnie have to contend with the shock of the jazzman's unexpected death, she also must deal with her old nemesis, Lieutenant Philly Post, who is in charge of the case. When a rumor goes around that Match whispered the name of his killer to Ronnie just before he died, Ronnie realizes that she may be targeted as the next victim. Despite being warned off the case by Post, Ronnie launches her own investigation, quickly determining that the victim's wife has something to hide. An engaging mystery with an appealingly cheeky heroine, brash humor, and plenty of unexpected twists. Emily Melton
