Product Description

Book Description

Rock legend Johnny Waits makes the ultimate career move—he dies at the height of his success on a heroin high in the arms of record producer Christian Dexter. Carla Blue, a music star on the rise, drowns, with morphine in her veins, in the swimming pool of Dexter’s luxurious Spanish villa. Carla’s closest friend, Georgina Powers, is convinced something is terribly wrong—especially when she finds tapes of unreleased albums by both Carla and Johnny for sale at a market stall. The record company doesn’t like it either, because Johnny and Carla are still in business. And, if the sales are anything to go by, they’re better off dead.


From the Publisher

THE LONDON TIMES hailed Denise Danks as “one of the six best crime writers in the United Kingdom.” In her finger–on–the–pulse, high–tech thrillers, Danks has conjured up a savage, noirish underworld for her hard–living heroine, Georgina Powers.

5.0 out of 5 stars Grim but good, Aug 7 2002
By D. P. Birkett (Suffern, NY USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The heroine is an unhappy alcoholic bisexual British journalist investigating the murder of two pop music stars. The setting is the London music scene. Some blurbs and reviews emphasized the computer content but the only computer-related event I noticed was that someone introduces a virus to prevent a suspect erasing his files. Statistical sales projections are an element but that doesn't seem very high high-tech. It is hard-boiled with rapid action and strong hints of sexuality and violence, although by the end there has been only minor violence (the murders are off-stage) and no explicit sex. Very little humor. Nobody seems to be enjoying themselves much although they spend their time partying and clubbing and surrounded by money. It's a page-turner but some might find it depressing.
