About this title

About the Author:

P>In his first novel, Larry Karp had traded on his many years' experience as both a member of the Music Box Society of America and as a personal collector of music boxes to pen a riveting murder mystery that will appeal to both audiences. Mr. Karp lives with his wife outside of Seattle, WA.

From Library Journal:

Thomas Pardue, upstanding and companionable member of a New York City music box collectors' club, discovers after purchasing a rare box that it was stolen from a murdered collector friend. Without wishing to incriminate himself, he bypasses police and attempts to find the killer, especially after the dealer who sold the box and Pardue's restorer friend are also murdered. Pardue's keen sense of humor, his loving relationship with his ramrod wife, and several wild and woolly close calls, as well as revelatory details about other collectors, make this first novel difficult to put down. An essential purchase.
