    A body in a pool. A rifle. And a scream that carries across the valley. But is that the end, or just the beginning? It's been a hard couple of years, but things finally seem to be looking up for Danielle. Her boyfriend Matteo has inherited a dilapidated old farmhouse in Tuscany, complete with olive groves, vineyards and - most importantly - a pool. They will swim, drink wine and sit out under the stars. It couldn't be more perfect. When she gets there, Danielle finds it's not quite as idyllic as she thought.

    Lipsyte, Sam

    Abstract

    A darkly comic mystery by the author of Hark and The Ask set in the vibrant music scene of early 1990s New York City. Manhattan's East Village, 1993. Dive bars, DIY music venues, shady weirdos, and hard drugs are plentiful. Crime is high but rent is low, luring hopeful, creative kids from sleepy suburbs around the country. One of these is Jack S., a young New Jersey rock musician. Just a few days before his band's biggest gig, their lead singer goes missing with Jack's prized bass, presumably to hock it to feed his junk habit.
