Now twenty-four, Phoenix is launching a career as an R \u0026amp; B singer. Shes living the life young artists envy and seems destined for fame and fortune. But a chance visit to a historical site in St. Louis ignites a series of bizarre, erotic encounters with a spirit who may be the King of Ragtime, Scott Joplin.\nThe music of Scott Joplin is strange enough to the ears of the hip-hop generation, but the idea that these antique sounds are being channeled by the protegee of rap superstar G-Ronn is nothing short of ludicrous.\nWith growing violence in G-Ronns inner circle and a ghost bent on living forever through her, Phoenixs life suddenly hangs in the balance,\" writes Tananarive Due. Can the power of her own inner song and the love of a music writer who believes in her give Phoenix the strength to fight to live out her own future? Or will she be trapped forever in Scott Joplins doomed, tragic past?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Atria Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45255577468981,"sku":"ByrdShop_0743449037","price":36.48,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780743449038_1b3795dc-3a10-4936-9dcb-c37dbf3d4d81.jpg?v=1779931117","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/joplins-ghost-a-novel-9780743449038","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
