Morgan Crew and his friend, Detective Bob Sommers, travel to Paris, France to attend the funeral of a college friend of theirs. LeRoy Manns was a musician playing in a jazz band in a Paris Jazz Cellar. His death was reported as an accident, but Morgan soon discovers that he was murdered. Despite his better judgement – and that little voice in the back of Morgan’s head that tells him to run away from trouble – Morgan stays in Paris to find LeRoy’s murderer.
That seemingly simple task, at least simple for Morgan Crew, turns into an international incident involving terrorists and professional killers. In Part One of this mystery, Morgan is successful in finding the killer, but the reader will have to wait for Part Two in order to find out if Morgan’s task is finished.
