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. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e In thrilling, cinematic style, \u003ci\u003eFrog Music\u003c\/i\u003e digs up a long-forgotten, never-solved crime.
