Thats when beautiful, rich, cruel Eve Hollander goes off her penthouse roof . . . and lands in the lap, as it were, of her next-door neighbor, Dr. Lou Baltimore. The quirky college professor with a knack for detection might let it go at thatexcept that five of Eves circle want to pin her death on him. Did Eve fall? Or was she pushed? And by whom? And why?
Lou wants to find out. Teaming up with smart, beautiful Indianapolis Police Department Lt. Kelley Cooper, Lou romances the leggy cop while also investigating Eves death.

Giới thiệu về tác giả
Daniel Cross is a lifelong native of Indianapolis who fondly remembers the city in the 1950’s, and enjoys poking gentle fun at its citizens (including himself) and their ways.
He has written four Lou Baltimore novels which chronicle the adventures of the quirky non-detective and his circle of friends through the mid 1950’s to the early 1960’s in Indianapolis, and which try to capture the flavor of the city at that time.
The author has also written a series of four suspense novels set during the same time period in the small—and very unfortunate—town of Windmill, Indiana, where a variety of mysterious visitors stop from time to time, bringing trouble in their wake.
When not writing novels, he has spent much of his career writing (nonfiction) for businesses, and teaching technical and business writing.
He may be reached through his alter ego, J. V. Shepherd, at [email protected]
