On a chilly January night in 1962 two men stand on the roof of a hotel in Long Beach. Both know that every moment of their parallel lives has brought them to this meeting. Through his fifty years, a life that has spanned the Jazz Age, the Depression, and two world wars, Joe Knight has been dogged by the mysterious and violent presence of the man he now faces for a long-awaited showdown. A Toll to the Devil takes the reader on a breathless journey through American history as experienced by a professional trumpet player. From the raucous jazz clubs of Kansas City to the traveling shows of the Depression to the ballrooms of the Swing Era, Joe chases his dreams, runs from his demons, suffers great loss, and rises to the heights of fame and fortune, all the while seeking the truth of his life, a truth he will find on this January night.Tags
