"The story begins in the Depression Era jazz world. What was called the Dirty Thirties, then moves to 1939 when Germany invaded Poland, then 1940 when FDR sends help to Churchill and England during The Battle of Britain and on to the close of World War Two, and later into the Korean War. However, this is not a war novel at all. Cameron only mentions these then current events through his narrator Ben Parker, to put this decades long saga of the music business into historical perspective. Cameron is telling a grand story, an epic of sorts — a noir horror tale set to a hot jazz beat."—from the introduction by Gary Lovisi
