About this ebook
Jazz star Bobby Ball sees the future when he plays his sax. The music of his dying idol, Omar Wild, throws open the door to tomorrow, but Bobby doesn't like what he sees. A faded torch singer will die unless Bobby plays an impossible song, one that reveals the secrets of a terrible crime. One that will force him to go solo in a race against time and the fight of his life.

DIONYSUS DYING
The old jazzman’s crooked fingers wrapped around Bobby Ball’s hand with surprising strength. Even as the fingers dug in, they never stopped twitching, as if they were playing the keys of a saxophone.
Nice to meet you...Bobby.
The old man breathed with an effort. He held Bobby’s hand a long time, as if he were posing for a photograph or greeting a long-lost friend.
But Bobby had never met Omar Wild until that very moment. The years of hero worship from afar didn’t count.
Bobby grinned and just let Omar hold onto his hand. It’s an honor, Mr. Wild. I just...I can’t tell you how much this means to me.

Bobby’s grin faded a little. Nervously, he patted the black stubble on his shaved, brown scalp. I used to be big,
he said. But even then, I could never fill your shoes for a second.

Bobby felt the pull of Omar’s ancient eyes. Bloodshot, yellow, and filmy as they were, those eyes exerted the wild and desperate gravity of an animal caught in a trap.
Bobby recognized it instantly. Though he didn’t show it, he felt the same desperation, the same hunger for hope.
It was really why he had accepted Omar’s invitation and come here, all
