Fallen Fret - Ray Richard - Bog

Fallen Fret follows two Brooklyn sisters who chose Harlem edge over Times Square flash. When Chaz Russell needed a guitarist to lead his blues band, he chose Liz O'Malley who had left prison on her twenty-fifth birthday with prodigious guitar technique learned from a cellmate. Her deft string work rejuvenated Chaz's stale blues band, but when she acquired a custom guitar, the wrong people noticed. Musicians fawned when her sister Sarah entered a nightclub clutching her reporter's notebook. She could enrich a performer with a complimentary review, or extinguish a career by mentioning languid play. She ruffled the Manhattan music scene when she inquired about the night jazz and blues gods secretly recorded. During the summer of 2009, the sisters, immersed in the blues music scene, fraternized with a group of shadowy personalities soaked with street sense and ready to choose violence over talk. This novel, driven by greed and guitar lust, is a story of strength and honesty, despite its shocking ending.
