Little shelfwear No creases on spine Pocket Books, 2004, 244 pages Gideon Lowry Book # 4 He P.I. Gideon "Bud" Lowry has been known to play Cole Porter tunes during his late-night piano gigs, but lately he s had reason to finger some melancholy melodies. Besides a suspicious fire near his Duvall Street apartment, Gideon's old flame, successful restaurateur Gabriella Wade, is getting married. Years ago, Gideon and Gaby were a hot item, before her true love— her Blue Moon restaurant —monopolized her time. But now her wheeler-dealer fiancé, Roy Emerson, is refusing to take a simple medical test and she wants Gideon to find out why. Fired up by his misfortunes and a strong desire to protect Gaby, Gideon begins an investigation into Roy s background that stretches from Key West to the Wild West—Wyoming. And the results are explosive. But before Gideon can open Gaby's love-blind eyes, she and Roy elope, and disappear. With throngs of tourists descending upon Key West for the annual Halloween parade, Gideon is one native Conch who isn t masking his fears —because if he doesn't find Gaby soon, he'll be left standing alone at the Blue Moon forever.
