Knowing his career is in freefall, Melvin desperately wrenches together a song for his next album-his last shot at success-based on a newspaper story about a stripper's untimely death. If the album flops, it could be back on the streets again. Curiously, the song, \"Millicent DeGroenfeld Rice,\" catapults Melvin and his band into fame-not due to its quality, but because of a chilling phenomenon: during each live performance of this song, a random audience member dies.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe growing fascination with the victims and the real-life story of Millicent DeGroenfeld Rice draws Melvin, an FBI agent, and a corporate lawyer into separate quests to either seek, reject, or ignore the truth behind the song's deadly effect. How can one song born of desperation kill a member of the audience every time it's played live? Is it just a bizarre coincidence, or is something more sinister at play?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e FriesenPress\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/14\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781038313126\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.27lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.81d","brand":"Richard Sanders Polin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51798344401077,"sku":"9781038313126","price":33.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_1022af15-c5ea-4089-a1b0-336d06f907ef.jpg?v=1758638163","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/millicent-degroenfeld-rice-9781038313126","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
