In a jazz club where the music never stops but the truth is always in danger of being silenced forever, can a down-on-his-luck detective with rusty rhythm skills unmask a murderer who's orchestrated the perfect crime? 

When Melody Monroe, "The Voice of Mars," is found strangled with a piano string in her locked dressing room, club owner Maxwell Reed knows the police won't dig deep enough. He hires private detective Mitch Victor for the case—but there's a catch. Victor must go undercover as the club's new drummer to investigate from the inside.

As Victor trades his badge for drumsticks, he discovers that Melody was hiding deadly secrets that reach into the highest levels of government. With corruption deeper than Martian bedrock, Victor must solve the case before the killer strikes again.

On the mean red streets of Mars, some songs are worth killing for.
