Through the window of a railroad saloon, a young woman called Jenny Bonnet is shot dead.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e The survivor, her friend Blanche Beunon, is a French burlesque dancer. Over the next three days, Blanche will risk everything to bring Jenny’s murderer to justice—if he doesn’t track her down first. The story Blanche struggles to piece together is one of free-love bohemians, desperate paupers and arrogant millionaires; of jealous men, icy women and damaged children. It’s the secret life of Jenny herself, a notorious character who breaks the law every morning by getting dressed: a charmer as slippery as the frogs she hunts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn thrilling, cinematic style, \u003cem\u003eFrog Music\u003c\/em\u003e digs up a long-forgotten, never-solved crime.
