Louis Greenberg, a Jewish con man and would-be pianist, navigates the world of jazz, women, passion, and cynicism in this novel set in LA's post-World War II bebop scene. As Louis attempts to make it as a jazz musician in the all-black jazz clubs of Watts, he spends his days defrauding war widows. "Debut novelist Silber delivers a captivating downhill ride through the alleys and clubs of LA's 1948 bebop scene, crafting a fascinating antihero who will do just about anything to keep his fingers on the ivories." Publishers Weekly
