So how did he end up stabbed to death on his kitchen floor?</strong><br /> <br /> New Orleans Homicide Detective Skip Langdon just happens to be on hand when Ham's body is discovered in the middle of his own party the evening before the Fest. To complicate the already murky case, the victim's sixteen-year-old blues musician sister has disappeared, and Skip suspects that if the young woman isn't the murderer, she's in mortal danger from the person who is. So Task One is finding Melody, ambitious, unhappy at home, and determined to break from her family.<br /> <br /> As she probes the victim's tangled relationships, Skip finds a Southern family to rival any in Tennessee Williams, including Ham's live-in lover, feisty and swiftly rising star Ti-Belle Thiebaud; his father George, enmeshed with family members in a bitter disagreement over the family's lucrative Po' Boy chain; and Patty, his distraught stepmother. <br /> <br /> In this tale of southern kinships gone awry, she's assisted by her long-distance love, Steve Steinman, and her gay landlord, Jimmy Dee. Meanwhile, Melody's dangerous yet exhilarating journey tugs at the heart and raises the pulse rate.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"This is Smith's most richly detailed novel, with fascinating characters and views of the New Orleans music scene and the French Quarter world of young runaways."</p><p><em>-- St. Louis Post-Dispatch</em></p><p> </p><p>"Langdon is as captivating a character as the city in which she lives and works.
