Blues-singer Maxx Maxwell is smart, talented, and
gorgeous–at least since she had her nose fixed, went blonde,
and bought a push-up bra. So what if she’s living in a
scruffy apartment in Hackensack, New Jersey, and the
waitress job she’s taken to make ends meet is driving her
crazy? Her band, Maxximum Blues, is really taking off,
thanks to the talents of guitarist Jimmy Nashville, a
heartbreakingly handsome guy whose life is complicated by an
assortment of girlfriends.
But then Jimmy plunges to his death from the window of his
ninth-floor apartment. His death intensifies tensions
already simmering in the band, and Maxx fears her dream of
making it as a singer might just as well be dead too.
Besides, she has to admit that, though she was trying to
resist his charm, she was as smitten with Jimmy as were the
other women in his life.
When Jimmy’s death is ruled suicide, Maxx resolves to go
sleuthing on her own.
