    Summary

    There is a man at the bar, writing in a notebook while nursing a drink; long fingers and dark skin, glasses slipping down his nose. If Vincent had to guess, he'd say they were around the same age, give or take. He's... pretty. Vincent's eyes keep coming back to him. He wonders if the man comes here often; Vincent's never actually been to this bar-- tonight is a bit of an occasion. He checks his watch and he has time, so he sidles up to the neighboring stool and sits. 

    Vincent Whittman fails to impress a stranger at a bar, but then said stranger watches him commit a murder.

    Summary

    New Orleans, 1926: In a world of ink, paper, and rigid social lines, 21 year old Vincent Whittman is still a shadow who’s chasing the light. A former copyboy with a grey streak in his hair and a revolutionary invention in his satchel: the future of sight and sound.
    After a brutal rejection from the city’s elite, Vincent finds an unexpected witness in Alastor: the magnetic Creole, King of Radio whose smile is as sharp as a razor and whose influence knows no bounds.
    A glass of Sazerac, a note hidden under a coaster, and a cryptic quote from Walt Whitman. Vincent wanted to change the world; Alastor might just be the one to help him burn the old one down.
    "Where do I sign?"

    Summary

    Things are changing. The world is shifting, radio has seen better days, and the only thing more dangerous than a killer’s secret is the desperation of a man trying to expose it at all costs.

    As Alastor fights to protect his footing as a radio star from ruthless new investors and a rising tide of conservatism in radio, he finds a different kind of 'fan' in morning news anchor Vincent Whittman: a desperate man, methodical, and dangerously close. A tool to keep his station, nonetheless.

    Vincent, meanwhile, is caught between the sharp eye of the law, his hunger for opportunities, and a damning cache of knowledge regarding 'the voice of New Orleans'. All he wants is to unmask Alastor.

    Both having sacrificed everything to reach their current heights, they find a common ground.
