Emma Donoghue s explosive new novel, based on an unsolved murder.
Summer of 1876. San Francisco is in the fierce grip of a record-breaking heat wave and a smallpox epidemic. Through the window of a railroad saloon, a young woman called Jenny Bonnet is shot dead.
The survivor, her friend Blanche Beunon, is a French burlesque dancer. Over the next three days, she will risk everything to bring Jenny s murderer to justice if he doesn t track her down first.
The story Blanche struggles to piece together is one of free-love bohemians, desperate paupers, and arrogant millionaires; of jealous men, icy women, and damaged children. It s the secret life of Jenny herself, a notorious character who breaks the law every morning by getting dressed: a charmer as slippery as the frogs she hunts.
In thrilling, cinematic style, "Frog Music" digs up a long-forgotten, never-solved crime. Full of songs that migrated across the world, Emma Donoghue s lyrical tale of love and bloodshed captures the pulse of a boomtown like no other."
