BLUES IN THE
NIGHT
"Tense, fast-moving crime novel from Nero Wolfe
Award-winner Lochte… Tough, independent Mace is a
wild card and one that Lochte should play again.
-- Publishers Weekly
"Fast paced and funny."
-- Kirkus Reviews
The adrenaline rush from
award-winning writer Dick Lochte, whose novels have earned
the praise of critics and many of his fellow writers,
including Joseph Wambaugh, Robert Crais, Sue Grafton,
Jonathan Kellerman, and Andrew Vachss, who wrote: “Pick your
genre—police procedure, PI, whodunit, serial killer ... this
guy can do them all. And all in the same book.” This time
it’s a noir novel of redemption, a lightning-fast chase
adventure, a whodunit, and a no-holds-barred love story that
reads like a modern day Maltese Falcon on steroids.

Blue Bayou
New Orleans Private Investigator Terry Manion, just out of
drug and alcohol rehab, is hit by sobering news. His friend
and mentor, J.J. Legendre, is dead and the cops are calling
it suicide. Manion doesn’t buy it, but finding the truth is
a tricky business in the Crescent City, where those
connected with J.J. are rapidly becoming an endangered
species. His quest is helped or hindered by an assortment of
colorful characters including: a septuagenarian former
madam, a Mafia don and his politically-correct son, an
opera-loving hit man, a rogue cop who went to grammar school
with Manion, a Southern beauty whose favorite drink is
champagne and vodka with a coke chaser, a Cajun Romeo and
Juliet, and a bestselling author who has earmarked Manion as
his next subject.

The Neon Smile
When New Orleans PI Terry Manion agrees to work for Pierre
Reynaldo, the king of exploitation TV, he winds up reopening
a case the NOPD slammed shut thirty years before -- the
racially motivated murder of Tyrone Pano, a black militant
leader. The more Manion learns about the case, the more
personal it becomes. Both his father and his mentor, J.J.
Legendre, had ties to Pano that might have been better left
buried.
THE NEON SMILE takes the reader back to 1965, a fateful year
for Legendre, then a young, cynical homicide detective
working the Pano case and a series of brutal murders
committed by a cool killer who models his crimes after a
19th Century slayer known as The Meddler.
