[EAN: 9781535308076], Neubuch, [PU: Createspace Independent Publishing Platform], Language: English . Brand New Book ***** Print on Demand *****. On a lazy spring evening in 1951, two cases arrive at Private Eye Lucien Caye s office in the New Orleans Lower French Quarter. The first is a murder case already solved by the New Orleans Police Department. The client believes NOPD arrested the wrong man. Yeah. Right. The second case - find who wrote a song recorded by a now defunct record label eleven years ago here in New Orleans, a song that is now a hit. There are royalties. It is slow, plodding work, sifting through slim leads of a murder case full of deception and misdirection as the song from the second case, How Could You Leave Me, haunts Lucien. When a young, alluring, doe-eyed woman with auburn hair steps into Lucien s life, trouble soon follows - gunplay, murder, mayhem, lust, maybe even love as Lucien learns why the song s original title was Hold Me, Babe. This is a classic 1950s private eye novel with good old American sex, violence and humor. A murder mystery featuring a character whose stories have won the The Private Eye Writers of America s prestigious SHAMUS AWARD for BEST PRIVATE EYE SHORT STORY and The Short Mystery Fiction Society s DERRINGER AWARD for BEST NOVELETTE. Lucien Caye novels include New Orleans Rapacious and Enamored and the short story collection New Orleans Confidential. Born in New Orleans, O Neil De Noux is a prolific American writer of novels and short stories. Much of De Noux s writing is character-driven crime fiction, although he has written in many disciplines including historical fiction, children s fiction, mainstream fiction, science-fiction, suspense, fantasy, horror, western, literary, religious, romance, humor and erotica.<
