In The Key Of Death by Robert S. Levinson
The ugly underbelly of the record industry is exposed in this taut mystery thriller, a fast-paced behind-the-scenes, below-the-belt account of deceit, treachery, romance, revenge and retribution that pits ex-LAPD detective Josh Wainwright against Clyde ("Mr. Magic") Davenport, the rich, famous, eccentric relic of the Golden Age of Rock-and-Roll he blames for the murder of his wife, international signing idol Katie Sunshine. His pursuit of the truth takes Josh to Las Vegas, Nashville, more danger, and an unpredictable turn of events before he finds an answer he never expected about the death of his beloved Katie."Pure Levinson--smart, dark and funny. Levinson's vision of human foible has never been sharper.-- T. Jefferson Parker
"A smooth and well-turned tale of music, murder and revenge...A novel of sparkling wit and complicated characters, of keen suspense and shocking revelations. A riveting thrill from start to finish." -- James Rollins
"A gem--fast-paced and full of surprises, with a wonderful assortment of twists, turns and oddball characters... Superbly written." -- Michael Palmer
