KW - Detective and mystery fiction KW - lcgft N2 - "Meet Adam Addy Zantz - failed songwriter and Lyft driver, driving around Los Angeles at night with a song in his heart and his head in the clouds. Haunted by memories, Zantz lives behind the wheel, dreaming up lyrics as he drives strangers through the city maze. The one person giving him hope: his favorite rider, aging folk legend Annie Linden. But when Annie is found murdered and the police consider him a suspect, Zantz finds himself forced to play detective...even though he's about as hardboiled as scrambled eggs. Left with a final, cryptic text from Annie, and desperate to discover who killed the one person who believed in him, Zantz digs deep into Annie's past, driving the outskirts of LA, turning up sworn enemies and lovers, and shocking long-held secrets that make him question how well he, or anyone else, knew Annie - if at all." -- ER -
