Steve Cannon must enter the world of the professional musician and the seamy drug underworld of 1960's Las Vegas to solve the murder of a famous recluse trumpet player. With most of the celebrity entertainers on the Strip looking over his shoulder, Steve must also contend with a sadistic killer who has resurfaced as a drug kingpin. 'A Song For Desmond' is a fast paced thriller homage to the hard working musicians that populated the carpet joints of the Las Vegas Strip and the downtown casinos before canned music made them obsolete.
