About this audiobook
In 1923 Chicago, some tunes end with a bullet.
When a star jazz trumpeter vanishes from the Gold Coast, his desperate aunt turns to O’Malley Investigations. The police dismiss it as a musician’s flight of fancy, but Kit Ashworth sees the terrifying truth hidden in a cryptic musical cipher: David Steinberg wasn’t just playing the clubs—he was documenting the mob.
Kit and her partner Paddy uncover evidence that shatters the myth of Chicago's gang war, proving rival bosses are secretly colluding to divide the city. Now, with the North and South Side gangs uniting to silence the leak, the detectives are the only thing standing between David and a shallow grave.
To get him out alive, Kit must walk into a room full of killers and negotiate a truce using the explosive evidence as leverage. But in a city built on corruption, the truth is the most dangerous weapon of all.
A gripping 1920s historical mystery perfect for fans of *Maisie Dobbs* and atmospheric noir.
