The Music of What Happens by Straley, John Format: Mass-Market PaperbackPublished by Bantam Doubleday Dell Publishing Group, 1997 A defense investigator working out of Sitka, in the Alaskan coastal archipelago, Cecil Younger walks a narrow line between the truth and what his clients pay him to find....The Music of What Happens. Younger's got the child custody case from hell, and a client to match. Shrill, confrontational, and obsessed, Priscilla DeAngelo is sure her ex is conspiring with a state senator to wrest her son from her. When she storms off to Juneau for a showdown, Younger's custody case swiftly turns into a murder. Fired from her defense team, Younger stays with the investigation. He's not sure what keeps him bulldogging the case--Priscilla's sister, his lost love; his regard for truth as a rare commodity; or the head injury Priscilla's ex gave him--but he won't let go until it's solved. But this time, the truth is less likely to set him free than to get him killed....Product image is for illustration purposes only and may not be an exact representation of the product offered for sale.
