NOTES
Jason Davey's back, and this time he's investigating the theft of £10,000 from a dancer's locker at a Soho gentlemen's club.Jason initially considers the case unsolvable. But the victim, Holly Medford, owes a lot of money to London crime boss Arthur Braskey and, fearing for her life, has gone into hiding at a posh London hotel.Jason's investigation takes him from Cha-Cha's and Satin & Silk (two Soho lapdancing clubs) to Moonlight Desires (an agency featuring high class escorts) and finally to a charity firewalking event, where he comes face to face with Braskey and discovers not everything Holly's been telling him is the complete truth.As he becomes increasingly drawn into the seamy underside of Soho, Jason tries to save Gracie, his band-mate's 14-year-old runaway daughter, from Holly's brother Radu, a ruthless pimp, while at the same time protecting Holly herself from a vengeful Braskey - nearly losing his life, and Gracie's - in the process.Notes on a Missing G-String is the second book in Winona Kent's mystery series featuring jazz musican-turned-amateur sleuth Jason Davey.
