About This Item
New Milford, CT and London:: The Toby Press,, (2008). First edition -. Fine in illustrated wrappers.. Advance Reading Copy (trade paperback format. ) The author's first novel "a captivating downhill ride through the alleys and clubs of LA's 1948 bebop scene, crafting a fascinating antihero who will do just about anything to keep his fingers on the ivories. At first, Jewish musician Louis Greenberg seems downright courageous, using his charm and piano skills to earn a place in the black jazz clubs of Watts; he's even pursuing an impossible love affair with a beautiful black regular, Beatrice. But soon it becomes apparent that his outsider status is deserved: his day job is swindling war widows out of their money, using the memories of their departed husbands as bait." (Publishers Weekly) 348 pp.
