Shamus Award-winner Bill Pronzini presents a stunning psychological study of one man's obsession and search for truth. Jim Messenger is a CPA who hates his job, loves jazz and can't forget the woman he saw eating at the Harmony Cafe. When the woman commits suicide, Messenger has to learn why, and begins a search that is both a hunt for answers and a rite of passage.
