In the ancient city of Cahokia – a teeming industrial metropolis, a tinderbox of every race and creed – peace holds. Just about. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e But on a snowy night at the end of winter, two roughshod detectives are called to the roof of a skyscraper. Their investigation will spill the city’s secrets and bring it, against a soundtrack of wailing clarinets, either to destruction or rebirth.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cu\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhat readers are saying:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/u\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e***** ''A marvellous, atmospheric, beautifully written and gripping read that dares to hope, amidst a background of bleak darkness and the pulsing joy of jazz, that I recommend highly.''\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e***** ''Original, imaginative, thought provoking, engrossing, engaging and beautifully written with characters who are credible and engaging. What more is there to ask for from a master at the top of his game. I enjoyed this as much as Golden Hill, which is praise indeed.''\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e***** ''The Yiddish Policemen''s Union is an obvious point of comparison; I also got echoes of James Ellroy, though with more light in the darkness, or maybe just a greater readiness to forgive humanity''s failings. There''s perhaps a dash of Earthly Powers too, and at least one nod to The Leopard; exalted company, to be sure, but Cahokia Jazz can hold its head high among them.''\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MediaPlace","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57394494341502,"sku":"NW9780571336883","price":11.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1379\/1261\/files\/9780571336883.jpg?v=1778602692","url":"https:\/\/mediaplace.com\/en-eu\/products\/cahokia-jazz","provider":"MediaPlace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
