About the Author

Jack Batten, after a brief and unhappy career as a lawyer, has been a very happy Toronto freelance writer for many years. He has written thirty-five books. Batten reviewed jazz for the Globe and Mail, wrote for the Toronto Star, and reviewed movies on CBC Radio for twenty-five years. Not surprisingly, jazz, movies, and crime turn up frequently in Crang's life.

Praise for this book

Riviera Blues is a spirited romp with a soaring plot that doesn't stand in the way of Batten's hilarious sense of humour.
A master of the genre, Riviera Blues is another outstanding title in Jack Batten's Crang Mystery series. An authentically riveting read from cover to cover.
