Looking for Chet Baker

"Evan Horne's comeback at the keyboard has brought him to England, where he hopes he can concentrate on his music and not think about crimes. But his friend Ace Buffington, who's led him into trouble before, shows up with a problem: He has a contract to write a biography of the late trumpeter Chet Baker, and since Evan's going on to Amsterdam, too ..." Chet Baker died on the sidewalk alongside the Prins Hendrik Hotel in 1988; whether he jumped, slipped, or was pushed was one of the mysteries of the jazz world. With his arrival at the hotel, Evan discovers that Ace - who was staying in Chet's old room - is missing, leaving only his briefcase and notes. Now Evan has no choice: To find Ace, he will have to dig into the mysterious death of Chet Baker ... and that takes him into a world he'd rather not visit.
