This mystery is the case of his dreams - and her nightmares. By day, Dayo Temitrope is a swinging singer, an up-and-coming star with a shining career ahead of her. By night, she's . . . well, she's not sure, but whatever she does leaves her every morning with sore feet and worn-out shoes. And after six months, she's had enough. Enter Bastian Dennell, a private investigator just trying to get by. When Dayo hires him to find out where she goes at night, he's sure it's his big break: his chance to establish himself and get the funds to pay off his family's debt. Plus, he gets to work with his favorite singer, even if she isn't exactly what he expected. What could be better?But first he has to solve the case - which means navigating a tangled web of strange dreams, fair folk schemes, and show business. It will take all Bastian's wits, along with the shining talents of Dayo herself, to figure out the truth before the curtains close for good on Dayo's career. A jazz-age-inspired twist on the Twelve Dancing Princesses from the author of Blood in the Snow.
