[Elder Darrow Mystery 01] • In Solo Time

An alcoholic walks into a bar . . . and buys it. At the urging of his sometimes lover and sometimes drinking partner Jacquie Robillard, Elder Darrow uses the last of the money from the trust fund his mother left him to buy the Esposito, a bucket-of-blood bar in Boston that he plans to turn into a jazz night spot. But before he can turn the place around, the body of Timmy McGuire, a jazz guitarist, shows up on the small stage of the Esposito, stabbed to death.
