A few words from the Author...
One night almost two years ago I was web surfing, and came across a music site where I heard Wade Culbreaths song, New Bop, played by Ben Lewis and recorded as a midi. As a net newbie, I was astonished to hear anything so beautiful coming out of my computer, and while I was sitting there listening with my eyes closed, wondering who or what the pianist was thinking about that caused him to play with such overwhelming passion, Joe Barbarello edged his way into my mind. As writers often do, I started wondering what if...
What if Joe, on the night of his greatest success at Chicagos Ravinia, spots a beautiful young woman in the audience and cant look away? What if he heads straight for her after hes finished, goes home with her that night, stays in her luxurious condo on Lake Shore Drive with her for three passion-filled days and nights, and only after he comes up for air finds out from his best friend that this woman, Zoey Bauer, is the prime suspect in the knife slaying of her former lovera murder that was committed only five days before Joe met her?
And--since hed just spent all this time with her, unaware she was being tailed by the Chicago Police, what if they dont believe Joe only met her for the first time three days ago? Enter a full roster of colorful characters who want in the worst way to help solve the mystery of who killed Jay DaVolo.
Okay, okay--they dont really want to help. What everyone in this book really wants is to put every possible roadblock in Joes way--except for his mother, who wants to help him in the only way she knows--by being an overprotective and over-talkative tigress, ready to take on the entire Chicago Police Department in order to protect her cub. Every other person from Zoeys world whom Joe meets up with in this book seems to have had a very good reason to want to kill DaVolo. Theyre all filthy rich, all greedy for more, all dishonest, and as Joe discovers, have all been involved with DaVolo in a convoluted, multi-million dollar double-scam that has already encircled the globe.
Come with me and meet the fascinating people Joe has to outwit in order to prove his own innocence, and the innocence of the enigmatic woman with whom he becomes so sexually obsessed that he might lose his freedom or his life.
