Shoot the Piano Player

Once upon a time Eddie played concert piano to reverent audiences at Carnegie Hall. Now he bangs out honky-tonk for drunks in a dive in Philadelphia. But then two people walk into Eddie''s life--the first promising Eddie a future the other dragging him back into a treacherous past.. Shoot the Piano Player is a bittersweet and nerve-racking exploration of different kinds of loyalty: the kind a man owes his family no matter how bad that family is; the kind a man owes a woman; and ultimately the loyalty he owes himself. The result is a moody thriller that like the best hard-boiled fiction carries a moral depth charge.
