Bill Moody: Looking for Chet Baker (USA 2003) From the Publisher: Horne's longtime buddy Ace Buffington, in Amsterdam researching the late jazz great's life and tragic death, has disappeared. Ace's trail parallels that of Baker's last days, so Horne does what he does best: improvise, baby, as he finds himself following the same path into Baker's dark, even dangerous past, and in doing so, confronting his own deep-rooted melancholy. In the smoky clubs and on the mean, exotic streets of Amsterdam, Horne hits all the right notes in a world where playing it by heart can make you a legend... as easily as it can get you killed. Bill Moody: Looking for Chet Baker. An Evan Horne Mystery. Worldwide Library, ISBN: 037326450X (March, 2003), 269 p., $5.99.

With his arrival at the hotel, Evan discovers that Ace -- who was staying in Chet's room -- is missing. The only thing Evan finds is his briefcase and notes. Now he has no choice. To find Ace, Evan will have to dig into the mysterious death of Chet Baker... and that takes him into a world he'd rather not visit.
