Summer of 1876: San Francisco is in the fierce grip of a record-breaking heatwave and a smallpox epidemic. Through the window of a railroad saloon, a young woman called Jenny Bonnet is shot dead. The survivor, her friend Blanche Beunon, is a French burlesque dancer. Over the next three days, she will risk everything to bring Jenny's murderer to justice--if he doesn't track her down first. The story Blanche struggles to piece together is one of free-love bohemians, desperate paupers and arrogant millionaires; of jealous men, icy women and damaged children. It's the secret life of Jenny herself, a notorious character who breaks the law every morning by getting dressed: a charmer as slippery as the frogs she hunts. In thrilling, cinematic style, FROG MUSIC digs up a long-forgotten, never-solved crime. Full of songs that migrated across the world, Emma Donoghue's lyrical tale of love and bloodshed among lowlifes captures the pulse of a boomtown like no other"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Women dancers $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Murder $x Investigation $v Fiction. 651 0 $a San Francisco (Calif.) $y 19th century $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423787. 941 $a 4 952 $l NEPC953 $d 20180714034001.0 952 $l XYPC787 $d 20170328163322.0 952 $l TFPI826 $d 20160628012651.0 952 $l OIAX792 $d 20160331011114.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=FBA99A72F70511E582760BA0DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
