Sharp-witted, sax-playing Nanette Hayes is back on the funky mean streets of New York. A gift ?mojo doll? from mysterious Harlem folk artist Ida Williams starts turning her luck around real good. When Ida is suddenly shot to death in the middle of Nanette?s new uptown gig, things take a turn for the worse and the guilt-stricken saxophonist plunges into Ida?s checkered past and, to her surprise, the unsolved murder of a rising rap star. The rhythms and riffs of the city come ferociously alive in this smart, streetwise Big Apple thriller.
