Dead Note by Victor Manibo takes readers into the tumultuous life of Mia Cordova. Mia's world imploded when her father was shot dead in front of her while singing a karaoke classic. The police insisted that his death was the result of a random barroom brawl—an open and shut case. However, years later, another man is killed in the same way, singing the same song, leading Mia to believe the two killings must be connected.

When a newspaper article draws a link between the murders, Mia is thrust into an investigation that leads her into a world of interrogations, gambling rings, and shootouts. With the police quick to cast suspicion on her, Mia must bring her father's killer to justice alone. But can she catch a killer before she becomes his next victim?
