Someone is bumping off rock's wrinkled royalty. After the death of the third aging rock star—fifty-eight-year-old Freddie Finger, lead singer for multiplatinum band Rocket Fire—astrologer-detective David Lowell is brought into the case.

Freddie wasn't well liked, and Lowell has his hands full with plenty of suspects: There are Freddie's ex-wives, who seem willing enough to kill each other; his disgruntled band members, angry because Freddie's solo career was threatening their future; his greedy manager, now busily promoting the death of the rock star; and the musician whose career Freddie sabotaged many years ago.

Freddie's daughter, movie actress Vivian Younger, has retained Lowell's services to help catch her father's killer. She seems intrigued with Lowell and his bizarre profession. As they search for the truth, could there be romance in the stars for this stoic detective?

Lowell and Vivian have the help of his staff: vivacious, red-haired assistant Sarah, master hacker and psychic Mort, and driver and bodyguard Andy. Together they must sift through the detailed astrological charts of the suspects for any clues in the stars that could point to a killer.

      A killer is targeting aging rock stars in Lewis’s diverting second mystery featuring David Lowell, New York City astrologer and proprietor of the Starlight Detective Agency (after 2011’s Murder in the 11th House). When 63-year-old Freddie Finger, the lead singer for the band Rocket Fire, is found hanging from a heat pipe with three bullets in his body in a Manhattan building undergoing renovation, he is the third vintage rocker to recently meet an untimely end in New York. Freddie’s movie actress daughter, Vivian Younger, is quick to insist that the NYPD bring in Lowell. That the thrice-married Freddie treated women and bandmates poorly ensures a large suspect pool. Lowell, who flexes his astrological muscles in his investigative work, shows he can also rely on his fists. Astrologically inclined cozy fans will find a lot to like.
