The Bessie Blue Killer - Hardcover

Claims adjuster Hobart Linsay is no hard-bitten PI- he is just a nice guy trying to do his job. So why does he always find himself embroiled in murder cases?

Promoted to international Surety's Special Projects Unit/ Detached Status Lindsey must oversee the filming of a movie about black World War Two pilots. But before shooting begins, a corpse is found amid the vintage aircraft, and suddenly and unexpectedly Hobart Lindsey is flying through a murder investigation by the seat of his pants. Definitely not what he had anticipated on promotion.

Full of acute observations and engaging characters, this witty and charming crime thriller is sure to delight and intrigue.

Richard A. Lupoff is the author of more than a dozen novels, including two previous Hobart Lindsey/ Marcia Plum mysteries. He lives with his family in Berkeley, California.
