Retired Navy veteran Elias Coda Cody just wants to fix vintage guitars and enjoy the quiet life in Foggy Point. As a former submarine sonar technician, Coda's ears are trained to identify the tiniest acoustic signatures in the deep-a skill that serves him well when restoring the perfect analog tone in his shop, The Sound Hole.
But when legendary folk-rocker Rex Ryder is found dead in a studio sealed tight from the inside, the police call it a tragic accident. Coda calls it a crime.
Armed with a soldering iron, a sharp ear for frequencies, and a nineteen-year-old assistant who lives life in digital fast-forward, Coda must find the resonance of a murder before the killer turns the volume up on him.

- Authentic Veteran Voice: Featuring a protagonist whose military discipline and sonar expertise bring a fresh perspective to the cozy mystery genre.
The Gold Standard debut for fans of vintage gear, classic rock, and the art of the fix.
