Deader Than Disco — David Hiltbrand

For twenty years, sex-drenched rock diva Angel has kept herself at the top of the pop charts and in the public eye, thanks to her uncanny knack for controversy and amazing talent for personal reinvention. But the dead body of a rising NBA hoop star has been discovered at Angel's L.A. pleasure palace -- and suddenly the most recognizable face in America is nowhere to be seen.

The music world is private investigator Jim McNamara's arena, and its pulse, glitter, and volume make him come alive. Now he needs to explore its darkest corners to track down rock's undisputed queen bee -- one Angela "Angel" Chiavone -- and get to the bottom of one very nasty murder. But how do you find a chameleon who could be anywhere and anyone? If McNamara can't figure it out, the elusive enigma's next hit just might be, quite literally, number one with a bullet.
