Nick Gazelle Investigations - Book 2 - Tattooed Canary

Tattooed Canary has been started, and I am several chapters in.  I'm keeping the first-person view as I did with Dance Noir.  I want you, the reader, to have the same information and clues as Nick does, except for the very first chapter.  I'm taking a different approach here, but don't worry; it won't give you more usable information than Nick, and it won't leave the detective in the dark.
