And meeting his new neighbour, sultry and beautiful actress Laurel Gray, brings even more excitement into his life.

Full
stop
Dorothy B. Hughes is the unsung godmother of every feisty female investigator who has hit the streets in the last twenty-five years
If you wake up in the night screaming with terror, don't say we didn't warn you.
Dorothy B. Hughes was in a class of her own. To be a female author of hard-boiled fiction back in the 1940s was unusual enough, but to write a first-person narrative from the viewpoint of a male serial killer was breaking new ground by anybody's standards. She marked out this territory years before most other writers even knew it existed.
An excellent novel
A tour de force . . . The structure is flawless, and the scenes of postwar L.A. have an immediacy that puts Chandler to shame. No wonder Hughes is the master we keep turning to.
