Synopsis

New York City, New York.

Meet Augustus Berrycloth-Young - fop, flaneur, and Englishman abroad - as he chronicles the Jazz Age from his perch atop the city that never sleeps.

That is, until his old friend Thomas Nightingale arrives, pursuing a rather mysterious affair concerning an old saxophone - which will take Gussie from his warm bed, to the cold shores of Long Island, and down to the jazz clubs where music, magic, and madness haunt the shadows.

Short, possibly too short. OK it is a novella, but I just felt slightly short changed (and I have been quite happy with previous novellas in the series). ... READ MORE
