ISBN: 9780575097605.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI was my dads vinyl-wallah: I changed his records while he lounged around drinking tea, and thats how I know my Argo from my Tempo. And its why, when Dr Walid called me to the morgue to listen to a corpse, I recognised the tune it was playing. Something violently supernatural had happened to the victim, strong enough to leave its imprint like a wax cylinder recording. Cyrus Wilkinson, part-time jazz saxophonist and full-time accountant, had apparently dropped dead of a heart attack just after finishing a gig in a Soho jazz club. He wasnt the first. No one was going to let me exhume corpses to see if they were playing my tune, so it was back to old-fashioned legwork, starting in Soho, the heart of the scene. I didnt trust the lovely Simone, Cyrus ex-lover, professional jazz kitten and as inviting as a Rubens portrait, but I needed her help: there were monsters stalking Soho, creatures feeding off that special gift that separates the great musician from someone who can raise a decent tune. What they take is beauty. What they leave behind is sickness, failure and broken lives. And as I hunted them, my investigation got tangled up in another story: a brilliant trumpet player, Richard Lord Grant - my father - who managed to destroy his own career, twice. Thats the thing about policing: most of the time youre doing it to maintain public order. Occasionally youre doing it for justice. And maybe once in a career, youre doing it for revenge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Gollancz","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44959924748341,"sku":"ByrdShop_0575097604","price":61.05,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780575097605_ef4a0671-451b-4750-99ee-d86216970434.jpg?v=1778877433","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/moon-over-soho-9780575097605","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
