Death by the Riverside: The First Micky Knight Mystery J. M. Redmann Paperback

The San Francisco Chronicle called Micky Knight, "one of the most hard-boiled and complex female detectives in print today". Kirkus Reviews claims, "Redmann has the makings of a landmark series". Death By The Riverside is where it all began. Long out of print, the first adventure of Micky Knight introduces this sardonic and steamy New Orleans private detective and leads us into her world. "I suppose I should have known that tasteful blondes like her didn't traipse down to my part of town and hire me to find their missing fiances. And I did have a feeling that she was going to lead me astray. I just thought that it was a direction I'd like to stray in. Now two very bad things have happened to me -- a lot of not nice men are pointing guns in my direction and I think I've fallen in love".
