"Cordelia Goodwin Thorne. Named for King Lear's daughter by my godfather, a New York private detective; nicknamed Cory by my socialite mother. My father -- who worked for the one and adored the other -- wisely stayed out of it. He taught me the tango, standing on his shoes as we danced across our Manhattan living room, along with his investigative tricks that turned me into a journalist."

Another Number for the Road: a Cory Goodwin Mystery

 The first literary mystery for rock-&-roll fans – with embedded music!

A whirlwind romance in Paris swept aspiring journalist Cory Goodwin and novelist Larry Thorne into marriage. Now Larry's a VP in Boston who doesn't want his wife chasing scoops. Cory can't help it: her father's a private investigator. When she's invited to cover Hands Across the Sea, a high-end exchange program featuring a mystery destination and a mystery band, she jumps on it. The mystery destination is Paris. The mystery band is Quasi & Company – a reunion of Boston's top '60s rock-protest band, The Rind.


Cory's search for lost time is also a hunt for a murderer. Her first published story was an interview 20 years ago with Rind vocalist Mickey Ascher and guitarist Dan Quasi. They were so intense, so committed, she couldn't imagine they'd ever break up. When Ascher's blood- and champagne-soaked body was discovered on a polar bear rug in his Back Bay penthouse, she couldn't believe it. Dan Quasi spent months in the police and media spotlight, then disappeared. Why? Crushed by guilt? Scared of justice? Then why come back? Why now? And why Paris, of all places?


This is a minefield, warns her husband's voice in her ear. Back off. But her father's voice is louder: Who did kill Mickey Ascher?
