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 named 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. In thrilling, cinematic style, Emma Donoghue's Frog Music (Little, Brown) digs up a long-forgotten, never-solved crime in a lyrical tale of love and bloodshed from the acclaimed author of Room.
