Book Description

Austin, Texas PI Sydney Lockhart is on the trail of Johnny Pine, a notorious bookie, who has absconded with a client’s payout from a horse race. Pine checks into the Menger Hotel in San Antonio with New Orleans jazz singer Nora Jasper. This next morning Sydney discovers Pine murdered in his bed, and Nora points the guilty finger at Sydney. The situation goes from bad to worse when Sydney is attacked and thrown into the river downtown. Luckily, a passerby rescues her, but her memory before her arrival in San Antonio is gone: no recollection of her partner Dixon, or cousin Ruth, Sydney’s sidekick. With a battered body and faulty memory, Sydney hooks up with an Irish cab driver named Taco and a music-hall bouncer named Rip in an attempt to stay alive and find the killer.
