Another Number for the Road by Cj Verburg

Another Number for the Road by Cj Verburg

As the daughter of NY private eye Archie Goodwin, journalist Cory Thorne's response to her crumbling marriage is to tackle a tough investigation. Twenty years ago, vocalist Mickey Ascher of rock-protest band The Rind was slaughtered in his Back Bay penthouse. His guitarist, Dan Quasi, disappeared. Now Unsolved Mysteries is reopening the case, just as an upscale Boston exchange program has hired Dan Quasi's new band to play for their networking trip to France. Why would a former rock legend, antiwar ringleader, and murder suspect choose the Eiffel Tower and EuroDisney for his comeback? As she follows Quasi & Company from Paris -- site of her own whirlwind courtship -- to a village strawberry festival, Cory's quest for a scoop becomes entangled with her personal search for lost time. Meanwhile, drugs, sex, and long-buried grudges are popping up around the band like land mines. The Bostonians' nostalgia trip turns dangerous, then deadly. Now it's urgent for Cory to solve her father's elephant-in-the-room question: Who killed Mickey Ascher?

Verburg, Cj: - San Francisco writer CJ Verburg is an award-winning playwright, theater director, and author of five international literature collections, a memoir, and two mystery series. She started her literary career early, telling stories to stuffed animals; she wrote her first novel and won her first playwriting award in her early teens. After graduating from Mount Holyoke College, the venue for her first full-length play (a rock-protest musical), she became a part-time cocktail waitress, proofreader, and boat builder, and then an in-house and freelance editor and writer for publishers in Boston and San Francisco. Her adventures on the noir side of publishing inspired her first Cory Goodwin mystery, Silent Night Violent Night. Staging plays with her Yarmouth Port neighbor and friend, the artist Edward Gorey, triggered her multimedia memoir Edward Gorey On Stage and her Edgar Rowdey Cape Cod mystery series, beginning with Croaked and Zapped.
