5.0 out of 5 stars Little Girl Lost may Win an Edgar!! Feb 9 2005
By Andrew Salmon TOP 1000 REVIEWER
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Just nominated for an EDGAR AWARD, Little Girl Lost is an excellent debut novel. Whereas most PI fiction shows us a detective long since hardened by experience, Lost's PI, Blake, is an inexperienced though capable detective. Through the course of this well written tale, we see Blake harden and toughen until a climax which rivals vintage Spillane! The writing is excellent throughout, the plot engaging, the characters well-drawn and momorable, the ending shocking. I give this fine novel my highest recommendation.

4.0 out of 5 stars solid urban noir Feb 7 2004
By Harriet Klausner TOP 500 REVIEWER
Format:Hardcover
In Manhattan, private investigator John Blake is stunned to learn that Miranda Sugarman was murdered on New Year's Eve on the roof of the Sin Factory, a strip joint. John thinks back to making love with Miranda the night before they graduated high school and she went off to Rianon College in New Mexico. He is further shocked to learn that Miranda was a stripper not a doctor as he always assumed would be.

Unable to resist and ignoring the plea of his "assistant" former cop Leo Hauser to butt out, John begins making inquiries at the club and at Rianon College. He runs up against volatile club manager Wayne Lenz and drug dealing owner Murco Khachadurian, two thugs who tell him to stay out of their affairs and their club. Even worse cretins warn John off with his only ally besides reliable Leo being stripper Rachel Firestone.

Though John's obsession seems too over the top for a sane person, fans will appreciate this solid urban noir mindful of the Barbara Stanwick movie, Lady of Burlesque. Once the reader moves pass the why he is doing this, they will appreciate a fun Manhattan murder mystery. The key to this tale is the delightful cast (with and without clothing) in which even the miscreants have personalities, albeit nasty ones.

5.0 out of 5 stars The ending will surprise you Feb 3 2004
By A Customer
Format:Hardcover
A young detective in New York learns that his ex-girlfriend was murdered at a strip club where she had been dancing. As he investigates, he discovers that her life since they broke up was nothing like he thought. Bit by bit he uncovers the truth about her death and about who she really was. When you get to the ending, it's a real shock. Anyone who likes writers like Lawrence Block or Ross Macdonald should read this one!
