About Deadly Melody

Life in Newport, Rhode Island, during the 1980s was packed with dance floors, ocean breezes, and endless nights. Beneath the glamour of mansions, marinas, and booming nightclubs, cocaine flowed freely, and the revelry never seemed to end. Then the body of a star high school basketball player washes ashore. For a moment, the city by the sea is stunned. Rumors spread through bars, beach houses, and back alleys. Was it a tragic accident, suicide… or murder? But in a town addicted to excess, the music keeps playing, and the nightlife rolls on. As a local detective digs deeper into the young athlete's death, the investigation embroils his best friend— a charismatic nightclub DJ who lives for pulse-pounding parties, beautiful women, and the exhilaration of Newport after dark— in a web of mystery and deceit. What begins as a single suspicious death spirals into a perilous maze of secrets, betrayal, and deception that lurks beneath that city's glittering surface. In a place where everyone is chasing pleasure and nobody wants the party to end, even the melody can be deadly.
