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 RICHARD ALEAS, a writer whose stories have been selected for Best Mystery Stories of the Year. It features a brand new cover painting by legendary pulp artist Robert McGinnis, creator of the posters for Breakfast at Tiffany’s and the original Sean Connery James Bond movies.
