As the daughter of NY private eye Archie Goodwin, journalist Cory Thorne’s response to her crumbling marriage is to tackle a tough investigation. Twenty years ago, vocalist Mickey Ascher of rock-protest band The Rind was slaughtered in his Back Bay penthouse. His guitarist, Dan Quasi, disappeared. Now Unsolved Mysteries is reopening the case, just as an upscale Boston exchange program has hired Dan Quasi’s new band to play for their networking trip to France. Why would a former rock legend, antiwar ringleader, and murder suspect choose the Eiffel Tower and EuroDisney for his comeback? As she follows Quasi & Company from Paris -- site of her own whirlwind courtship -- to a village strawberry festival, Cory’s quest for a scoop becomes entangled with her personal search for lost time. Meanwhile, drugs, sex, and long-buried grudges are popping up around the band like land mines. The Bostonians’ nostalgia trip turns dangerous, then deadly. Now it’s urgent for Cory to solve her father’s elephant-in-the-room question: Who killed Mickey Ascher?
