String Me a Murder - by Coltan Nicci (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

Two parts quarreling musicians. One part vibrant bar scene. And a splash of vampire sleuth makes for one lethal cocktail.

After gifted violist Caspar "Cass" Reyes is turned into a vampire behind All Aboard Bar in San Francisco's cozy West Portal neighborhood, he thinks his chance at joining the SF Philharmonic is dead and buried.

But when a fellow musician (and former fling) turns up murdered, Cass's new supernatural senses make him the perfect sleuth... even if he's also the prime suspect.

With help from his brooding vampire mentor Lucas and his best friend Micah-whose drag queen costume designs always slay-Cass must untangle a web of sheet music, sequins, and sabotage before the killer plays their final note.

Set against the city's vibrant LGBTQ+ and Filipino-American communities, this urban cozy mystery blends found family and musical intrigue into a deadly brew that's definitely not on the bar menu.
