About this ebook
A Boston music journalist-turned-corporate writer investigates the suspicious death of a friend from her punk past in this noir mystery.
The Boston club scene may be home to a cast of outsiders and misfits, but it’s where Tara Winton belongs—the world she’s been part of for the past twenty years. Now, one of the old gang is dead, having fallen down the basement stairs at his home.
With her journalist’s instincts, Tara senses there’s something not quite right about Frank’s supposedly accidental death. When she asks questions, she begins to uncover some disturbing truths about the club scene in its heyday. Beneath the heady, sexually charged atmosphere lurked something darker. Twenty years ago, there was another death. Could there be a connection? Is there a killer still at large…and could Tara herself be at risk?
“[A] a fascinating reminiscence of sex, drugs, and rock and roll.”—Kirkus Reviews
“Simon writes with authority and affection about a lost world. Highly recommended”—Catriona McPherson, award-winning author of Strangers at the Gate
“World Enough, is steeped in the 1980s Boston rock scene, with its sticky-floored clubs, radio stations dusted in coke, stars and hangers-on, seedy barbacks, and all the attendant sin and debauch that emerges after midnight when you can still hear the show ringing in your ears.”—Boston Globe
“Simon's dark story shimmers with brilliance—and stands as her finest.”—Richmond Times-Dispatch
