Midnight Blues: A Renaissance Murder Mystery - Paperback

by Jeremy Taylor (Author)

In a world at odds with progress and power, Frankie learns the truth comes at a deadly price.

Frankie Keys rose to stardom in New Port, Louisiana, during the decadent Jazz Age. Audiences were captivated by his charm and golden voice, unaware of the fugitive hiding beneath the glittering facade.

On New Year's Eve, at the peak of his success, Frankie throws a lavish party to leave his illicit endeavors behind and legitimize his future. But before the clock strikes midnight, he's found dead. Was it his scorned wife, the greedy mobster with everything to gain, or the power-hungry judge hiding secrets of his own?

Set against the sophistication of Black luxury in a society fractured by race and rigid social constructs, Midnight Blues is a riveting tale of love, betrayal, and deception.
