Little Girl Lost

by RICHARD ALEAS

Miranda Sugarman was supposed to be in the Midwest, working as an eye doctor. So how did she wind up dead on the roof of New York’s seediest strip club?

Ten years earlier, Miranda had been P.I. John Blake’s girlfriend. Now he must uncover her secret life as a strip tease queen. But the deeper he digs, the deadlier the danger... until a shattering face-off in an East Village tenement changes his life forever.

LITTLE GIRL LOST is the stunning debut novel from Edgar Award-winning author RICHARD ALEAS. And the excitement continues in John Blake’s shocking second case, SONGS OF INNOCENCE, also available from Hard Case Crime.
