Description:
New York City, June 1978. Disco is at its apex, and young Marti Hirsch has got herself worked up over the death of a handsome piano-bar singer. Refusing to believe the man she adored died in a simple B and E, Marti noodges everybody around her until she gets answers. A chance encounter with a high school classmate during the investigation, meanwhile, forces her to confront the past and discover the source of her mysterious crying jags (which her ahead-of-his-time shrink diagnoses as post-traumatic stress disorder). As portrayed by debut novelist Miriam Ann Moore, Marti is relentless--sometimes obnoxiously so--in her pursuit of the truth (but not always as smart as she thinks she is), as well as a strident feminist with a taste for no-strings sex. The glimpses of the Studio 54 scene are wickedly entertaining, and there's a few genuine surprises in the rapidly twisting plot.
