Description: "1940, San Francisco. Jazz saxophonist Ray Sherwood has arrived in town on tour with the Jack Donovan Orchestra and plenty of bad memories. But when he meets two beautiful women on the same day, Ray is shaken out of his stupor. One of the women, Gail, wants his help in orchestrating her avant-garde composition Swing around the sun; the other will plunge to her death just moments after speaking to him. It soon turns out that there is more to Gail's motivation than meets the eye, and Ray is led along a trail of music, murder and espionage - all set against the ominous backdrop of America preparing for war."--Publisher description.
