Lost Daughters: A Micky Knight Mystery

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.`

It is fall in the steamy underworld of New Orleans, the seasons are changing, and so is tough detective Micky Knightâ€™s life. Micky takes on the case of the daughter of a friend, who is believed to be sexually abused, not knowing that the investigation will lead her on a dangerous sexual odyssey. In Cissyâ€™s sleepless nights, Micky sees echoes of her own past, and she becomes caught up in a world where young girls are treated as commodities. While doing battle with seedy thugs and struggling to hold on to her rocky relationship with Dr. Cordelia James, Micky travels between the uptown opulence of the Sans Parel Club, one of New Orleansâ€™s exclusive private clubs, and a tawdry hole of a bar near the Desire Projects. Evil exists in both places, and the mystery culminates where law and desire intersect.

But when another woman, also a patient, is murdered, these events reveal the frightening possibility that the crimes are more than just random chances.

As the killer circles ever closer to Micky?and the lost daughter she is trying to find?the coincidences become a grisly reality: the one characteristic all the victims share is that they dare to love other women.

It’s just one more body in one more destroyed house. In New Orleans, a few months after Katrina, there are thousands of destroyed houses and hundreds of body yet to be found. Can one more matter? It does to Micky Knight as she takes on the quixotic search to find out who the woman was and why she might have died there. But is Micky searching for justice or just doing anything to avoid confronting the ways Katrina destroyed everything that had tied her to New Orleans? In a city that doesn’t even have working stoplights, there seems little need for a private investigator. Her friends are all struggling with their own disrupted lives, lost jobs, destroyed homes. And the woman Micky thought she’d be with forever, Cordelia James, hasn’t returned. Micky’s investigation leads to a tangle of greed and deceit that stretches back generations. Someone is using the destruction wrought by the flooding to finish what was started a hundred years ago. To stop them Micky will have to risk not just life and limb, but any chance to reconnect with Cordelia and rebuild the life she had before Katina. But if she doesn’t stop them, a young Midwestern teenager whose only crime was wanting to help the destroyed city, will be the next body left in an abandoned house. The sixth Micky Knight mystery.

Water Mark (Mickey Knight Mystery Series, 6)

Noir has always been one of the most popular—and darkest—sub-genres of the mystery field. Following in the footsteps of such masters of the form as James M. Cain, Raymond Chandler, and Dashiell Hammett, some of the top writers of gay mystery explore this territory of amoral tough guys with a cynical view of the world by giving classic noir a gay twist. Edited by award winning author/editors Greg Herren and J.M. Redmann, Men of the Mean Streets changes the face of gay mystery—and the reader may never look at gay life and culture in the same way again.
