The Last Songbird

DEBUT Songwriter wannabee Adam Zantz is the regular Lyft driver for faded singer/songwriter icon Annie Linden. When he arrives at her estate for a scheduled pick-up, he finds Annie’s bodyguard murdered in her seaside cottage. Hours later, Annie’s dead body washes up on shore. Police deem it a suspicious death. Annie was good to Adam, encouraging his songwriting. Since Adam previously worked for a private detective, Annie had mentioned she would like him to track down certain items from her past, but never specified which items. Could they be related to Annie’s murder? Adam feels compelled to investigate, despite the police’s supposedly open-and-shut case against Annie’s on-again, off-again personal assistant, Bix Gelden, who wrote her threatening letters when she last fired him. However, Adam is certain Bix is innocent. As Adam questions people close to Annie, he discovers she is not the humble passenger he thought he knew; rather she is just the opposite. Secrets emerge that destroy his image of Annie.
