THE DANTE & JAZZ SERIES

NARRATED BY JOEL FROOMKIN

Something seems fishy when an astronomer discovers a tenth planet. Manning’s investigation reveals a sinister plot unfolding—and an on-the-job wrinkle could send his lover, Neil, packing.

Manning’s midlife crisis prompts a move to Dumont, Wisconsin, where dark family secrets bring tragedy to a Christmas celebration. And—surprise—Manning and Neil have “inherited” a teenage son.

The flamboyant “king of miniatures” visits Dumont to judge a roombox competition, but he winds up dead in his guest room. Circumstances falsely implicate—and out—the local sheriff.

Manning’s nephew, Thad, steps into the leading role of a local theater production, but his opening-night triumph turns sour with rising suspicions that he’s a murderous understudy.
