Death by the Riverside by J.M. Redmann

Mickey Knight is out taking a few snaps for a client when she discovers something is not quite right down by the river. Indeed she finds a dead body and some nasty thugs. Mickey is chased through seedy swamp lands and slugs it out with her pursuers. To get to the truth, Mickey meets the beautiful Dr Cordelia, the transvestite Eddie, and uncovers some uncomfortable home truths. Redmann’s prose is hard hitting and this offering is action packed with twists and turns around ever bend. If you are a fan of hard boiled classics like Sam Spade and Mike Hammer you will love this award winning gem.
