PI Tess Grey and her partner Nicolas 'Po' Villere have been hired by Margaret Norris to find her granddaughter, Jasmine Reed, who has been missing for sixteen days. But if Tess is to have any chance of finding Jazz, she needs to know the truth about the young woman's troubled past. What is it that Margaret Norris isn't telling her? Tess and Po aren't the only ones looking for Jazz. With shady local businessman Daryl Bruin and his henchman John Trojak also on her trail, as well as a mysterious - and violent - stranger, Tess prays, for Jasmine's sake, that she and Po find her first. But it's only when Tess uncovers a link to several other missing girls that she begins to make headway in the investigation - and finds herself in a desperate race against time to track down Jazz before it's too late.

"1940, San Francisco. Jazz saxophonist Ray Sherwood has arrived in town on tour with the Jack Donovan Orchestra and plenty of bad memories. But when he meets two beautiful women on the same day, Ray is shaken out of his stupor. One of the women, Gail, wants his help in orchestrating her avant-garde composition Swing around the sun; the other will plunge to her death just moments after speaking to him. It soon turns out that there is more to Gail's motivation than meets the eye, and Ray is led along a trail of music, murder and espionage - all set against the ominous backdrop of America preparing for war."--Publisher description.
