This tale of a singer's kidnapping in 1920s Harlem is "the best kind of
historical mystery" (Lee Child). Lanie Price, a Harlem society columnist,
witnesses the brutal nightclub kidnapping of the "Black Orchid," a sultry,
seductive singer with a mysterious past. When hours pass without a word
from the kidnapper, puzzlement grows as to his motive. After a gruesome
package arrives at Price's doorstep, the questions change. Just what does
the kidnapper want--and how many people is he willing to kill to get it?
Evil hides behind the genteel facades of affluent Strivers' Row, and stalks
the ballroom of a famous drag party, in this "dark, sexy" mystery set
during the Harlem Renaissance (Publishers Weekly). "Lanie has the makings
of a strong series heroine. Walter Mosley fans, in particular, should look
for more from this promising crime writer." --Booklist "Black Orchid Blues
works as a study of class and race, plus the debilitating effects of grief,
the question of identity and the far-reaching impact of family secrets . .
. Walker has a crystal clear eye for what motivates people as she explores
disparity and desperation." --South Florida Sun-Sentinel "Put a Bessie Smith
platter on the Victrola, and go with the flow on this
mystery/romance/history mix." --Library Journal
