Synopsis

A literary mystery for rock-&-roll fans – with a live soundtrack.As the daughter of New York detective Archie Goodwin, Cory Thorne's response to her crumbling marriage is to tackle a tough investigation. Twenty years ago, Rind vocalist Mickey Ascher was brutally beaten to death with a champagne bottle in his Back Bay penthouse by an unknown assailant. His guitarist and best friend, Dan Quasi, disappeared. Now Unsolved Mysteries is reopening the case, just when an upscale Boston exchange program is sending Dan Quasi's new band on their networking trip to France. Why would a former rock-&-roll legend, antiwar ringleader, and murder suspect choose the Eiffel Tower and EuroDisney for his comeback? As Cory follows Quasi & Company from Paris (site of her whirlwind romance with Larry Thorne) to a village strawberry festival, her quest for a scoop becomes entangled with her personal search for lost time. Meanwhile, drugs, sex, and long-buried grudges are popping up around the band like land mines. The Bostonians' nostalgia trip turns dark, then lethal. Now it's urgent for Cory to solve her father's elephant-in-the-room question: Who murdered Mickey Ascher?

À propos de l'auteur

San Francisco writer CJ Verburg is an award-winning playwright, theater director, and author of five international literature collections, a memoir, and four mysteries (so far). She started her literary career early, telling stories to stuffed animals; she wrote her first novel and won her first playwriting award in her early teens. After graduating from Mount Holyoke College, the venue for her first full-length play (a rock-protest musical), she became a part-time cocktail waitress, proofreader, and boat builder, and then an in-house and freelance editor and writer, in Boston and San Francisco. Her adventures on the noir side of publishing inspired her first Cory Goodwin mystery, "Silent Night Violent Night." Staging plays with her Yarmouth Port neighbor and friend, the artist Edward Gorey, triggered her multimedia memoir "Edward Gorey On Stage" and her Edgar Rowdey Cape Cod mystery series, beginning with "Croaked" and "Zapped."
