(PRLeap.com) "A Small Character Flaw," a new book by S. A. Kauffman, has been released by Dorrance Publishing Co., Inc.

A gripping new crime drama that plunges readers into a dark world of music, obsession, and betrayal.

This novel follows Harry, a dedicated horn-player bound by a tragic deathbed promise to bring his late friend's music to the masses. Driven by this lifelong dream, Harry accepts an unexpected, late-night gig from Teresa, a captivating neighbor in his apartment building. What begins as a promising opportunity quickly turns into a nightmare. By the next morning, Harry finds himself trapped in a dangerous web of crime, facing a grim reality where he must fight to avoid prison-or a dead-end alley.

"A Small Character Flaw" delivers a fast-paced, atmospheric narrative packed with murder, drugs, lust, and the soulful undertones of jazz music. Kauffman expertly crafts a suspenseful tale exploring how far a person will go to honor a vow when caught in the underbelly of temptation.
