Description: Midnight Louie, the beloved, jet-black feline sleuth, returns for a tenth outing in Carole Nelson Douglas's acclaimed cozy-noir series. Louie finds himself walking on the wild side in partnership with his feisty if disapproving daughter, Midnight Louise, when a glamorous feline client seeks his help in finding her missing boyfriend. At The Blue Dahlia, a forties-style music club where hard-boiled homicide lieutenant Carmen Molina moonlights secretly as a torch singer, the officer has no difficulty finding the body on the moonlit asphalt of the parking lot, lying next to her car with the words "she left" spray-painted nearby. Soon, another anonymous woman is found across town and joins the first unidentified woman in death. Is a serial killer at work in Molina's backyard? And will the tough lieutenant have to resort to the despised help of amateur sleuth (and Midnight Louie's favorite roommate) Temple Barr to crack the case? Maybe the wily police lieutenant has more devious ploys in mind. Certainly neither of Temple's two love interests, hotline counselor Matt Devine or the magician-cure-undercover man Max Kinsella, are far from either crimes of the heart or of homicide as the double murder case unfolds.
