When a murder rocks the legendary Onyx Club on 52nd Street — the beating heart of swing-era Manhattan — a savvy investigator must navigate a treacherous underworld of gangsters and musicians where every note played could be someone's last. H. Paul Jeffers masterfully reconstructs the neon-lit glamour and moral shadows of Prohibition-era New York, drawing on his encyclopaedic knowledge of the period to craft a narrative that is as atmospherically rich as it is propulsive.\n\nJeffers, a prolific author and broadcaster celebrated for his meticulous historical research, weaves authentic period detail — from the slang of the streets to the sounds of the bandstand — into a mystery that crackles with wit and menace in equal measure. Rubout at the Onyx stands as a sterling example of American crime fiction's love affair with the Jazz Age, inviting readers into a world where the music never stops and the danger never sleeps. Who among the jazz legends and underworld kingpins holds the deadly secret of the Onyx? The answer, buried beneath layers of rhythm and betrayal, will keep you guessing until the very last page.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49161046950107,"sku":"2026200011310-SECONDHAND","price":50.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/f21f1b49-cc32-4907-8746-7e7ae397571b.png?v=1787189646","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200011310-secondhand-rubout-at-the-onyx","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
