Now twenty-four, Phoenix is launching a career as an R\u0026amp;B singer. She's living the life young artists envy and seems destined for fame and fortune. But a chance visit to a historical site in St. Louis ignites a series of bizarre, erotic encounters with a spirit who may be the King of Ragtime, Scott Joplin. \u003cbr\u003e The music of Scott Joplin is strange enough to the ears of the hip-hop generation, but the idea that these antique sounds are being channeled by the protegee of rap superstar G-Ronn is nothing short of ludicrous. \u003cbr\u003e With growing violence in G-Ronn's inner circle and a ghost bent on living forever through her, Phoenix's life suddenly hangs in the balance,\" writes Tananarive Due. Can the power of her own inner song and the love of a music writer who believes in her give Phoenix the strength to fight to live out her own future? Or will she be trapped forever in Scott Joplin's doomed, tragic past?","brand":"Atria Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47153634377968,"sku":"9781416510475","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781416510475_p0.jpg?v=1763727378","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781416510475","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
