Swing, Baby! Swing!

When Lola Jean, Cleveland's most spellbinding go-go dancer, vanishes after her midnight set at the Top Hat Club, her roommate knows something's off. The police shrug it off. So she calls on Rose Rowan. Rose isn t your typical private eye. She s earned degrees in philosophy from the University of Chicago, and is recovering from a dissertation-induced breakdown involving Wittgenstein and a lot of black coffee. Now, she channels her razor-sharp logic into solving the kind of cases that don t fit into tidy syllogisms. But tracking Lola Jean pulls Rose into a smoky labyrinth of retro bars, rogue cops, tech secrets, and Irish mobsters, all hiding behind the faux-bamboo curtain of Cleveland s underground Tiki nightlife. At the center of it all is an unhinged software engineer with a fixation on Tiki perfection and a cocktail recipe no one is allowed to see. As Rose follows the trail through velvet shadows and neon lies, she ll have to decide how far she s willing to go and what she s willing to become to bring Lola Jean back alive. Smart, stylish, and a little unhinged, Swing, Baby! Swing! is a modern noir with a philosophical twist.
