It’s Carnival time in New Orleans, and for QT and The Beasts, that means gigs, parades, parties, and now…Murder.
Mardi gras in New Orleans can be murder for any musician, but for Clementine “Q” Toledano, it’s turning out to be downright deadly. Her bassist has once again got himself in trouble with a notorious Greek mobster; her trumpet player is fighting for control over her band, and her affair with a womanizing club owner is a bad habit she can’t kick.
When a woman turns up dead after a Lundi Gras gig and her bassist is accused of the crime, Q is sucked down into the seedy underbelly of the Crescent City to prove his innocence. In the process, she uncovers a secret that puts her in the number one spot on the hit list – and not the Top 40 variety. With time running out, she must face the killer on her own and, what’s worse, accept the fact that sometimes Greek gangsters are right: she has terrible taste in friends.
Smart, sassy, and filled with eccentric characters, That Old Devil Sin is the perfect New Orleans getaway for fans of witty detective dramas.
