商品簡介
An alcoholic walks into a bar . . . and buys it. In this amateur sleuth mystery, Elder Darrow buys the Esposito, a bucket-of-blood bar, hoping to turn it into a jazz spot. Owning a bar will test his sobriety, but he's relying on his ex-lover, Alison Somers, for support. Before Alison moved to New York, they agreed: he'll stay off booze if she keeps taking her antidepressants. Then one day Elder hears Alison has killed herself.
His sobriety threatened, he believes she wouldn't have quit taking her meds without talking to him. With his homicide cop and friend Dan Burton, Elder investigates her death and exposes a conspiracy of thugs, corrupt physicians, and questionable pharmaceuticals, proving Alison was murdered and by whom.
