Publisher Description

Folies Bergère, Paris, 1927. Joe Sandilands hurries to the assistance of an old friend who has been arrested for murder. In a cell of the Quai des Orfà vres, he meets with Sir George Jardine, still in the evening dress stained with the blood of the dead man. The only other witness, a blonde who was sharing the victim's box, has vanished.

Assistance for Joe comes from an entirely unexpected quarter: Francine, a young usherette, clawing her way into the world of the Paris Music Hall. It is she who becomes Joe's guide through this treacherous place, where the killer is sure to be lurking.

"Pretty good mystery--George caught in a mess like this??? I never doubted that Joe would clear him. I regretted some of the other deaths, but they just showed how evil the villain was."

    " fun book, a cross between historical fiction and murder mystery. The murder takes place in a theater in Paris during a performance by Josephine Baker on the same night that Lindbergh lands. Very "soft" compared to other murder mysteries, but likeable enough to take out others in the series. "

    " I got tired of this book. It was confusing at times and not interesting enough to make me want to finish. That rarely happens to me. I almost always finish a book I start. However, this one slipped away from me and I don't think I'll take it up again. "
