"Emma Donoghue's explosive new novel, based on an unsolved murder in 1876 San Francisco.
Summer of 1876 : San Francisco is in the fierce grip of a record-breaking heatwave
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 among lowlifes captures the pulse
of a boomtown like no other"
