Her sister's last song is over. The lies are just beginning.
Behind the glitter of Manhattan's Chimera Club, singer Vera Morrow lies dead in her dressing room. The police have an explanation: a jealous admirer, a quarrel, a murder after the encore.
There's only one problem.
Vera never sang an encore.
Evelyn Morrow works in the district attorney's office. Tonight, that gets her no closer to the truth. Shut out of her sister's case, she begins asking the questions everyone else seems eager to bury.
What she uncovers reaches far beyond the nightclub: debts that keep performers trapped, protection money that buys police silence, and respectable men whose generosity comes with a price. Even the former detective offering his help has reasons to conceal what happened that night.
Vera had been keeping secrets of her own. To understand why someone killed her, Evelyn must discover what her sister was trying to do-and whom she trusted when she had nowhere safe to turn.
But witnesses are frightened. Records are disappearing. And the closer Evelyn comes to the truth, the more determined someone becomes to destroy her credibility before she can prove it.
The Scarlet Nocturne is a pulp-style historical murder mystery of nightclub glamour, political corruption, and a sister's refusal to accept a convenient lie.
In a city where silence can be bought, asking the wrong question can get you killed.
