CHARLOTTE CARTER

CHARACTER:	NANETTE
CATEGORY:	AMATEUR

Nan, an African American New Yorker, has a Master's degree in French literature, but she earns her living playing tenor sax on street corners. After she offers to let another street musician spend the night on her sofa, she suddenly finds herself in the middle of the murder of an undercover cop and more double crossing and betrayals than she can count. Liza Cody has described this books as"...elegaic and musical...funky and dreamy at the same time." I'm looking forward to Charlotte Carter's next book.
