Synopsis

They called him Daddy Doo-Wop: the one-time Chicago disc jockey who spun the vinyl that made a young CJ Floyd's heart soar all the way out in Denver. Now, Daddy Doo-Wop has died on CJ's home turf and the dead man's beautiful daughter wants CJ to find out why. The mystery takes the savvy African-American P.I. into the darkest side of the record business as he tries to find out the truth about a man he's never met, a melody that lingers on, and a killer dancing to a drummer all his own.

Review

If you haven't yet had the pleasure of meeting C. J. Floyd, Robert Greer's Denver-based bail bondsman and private eye, you've now got two chances. The latest Floyd adventure, which explores the death of a black musical legend named Daddy Doo-Wop, offers a wealth of detail on everything from the record business to sex change operations. And available in paperback is Greer's heralded debut novel, The Devil's Hatband, a lively outing set amongst the environmentalist movement in Steamboat Springs, Colorado.
