The year is 1923. Exhausted from weeks chasing the story of a serial killer's spree, you and your colleagues sought refuge in a New Orleans pub.

He orders a rye, then turns his gaze toward you, a warm, familiar smile touching his lips. "What is someone as eye-catching as you doing all alone?" His voice is velvet, instantly recognizable. It is Leo Sterling, the radio star whose broadcasts you never miss, looking you over with a charming, deliberate intent.
