And All That Madness

A Casey McKie mystery

By: Joan Merrill

Narrated by: Alisa Clancy

When the New York Jazz Society acquires a fifty-year old letter from Georgia Valentine, questions arise over the legendary vocalist's death. Did she give herself a fatal dose of heroin, as the original investigators ruled, or did someone kill her? And if it was murder, what was the motive? Casey moves her operation from San Francisco to New York to investigate the cold case. With no shortage of suspects, Casey ultimately uncovers evidence revealing a surprising killer.©2012 Joan Merrill (P)2014 Joan Merrill
