One night during the Mardi Gras in New Orleans, 18-year-old Anna Louise Caley vanishes. Eleven months later, when all other efforts have failed, the girl's mother (aging film star Elizabeth Caley) hires an ex-cop and recovering alcoholic named Lorraine Page and offers her a $1 million bonus if she finds Anna Louise, dead or alive. The investigation leads Lorraine and her team into a world of drugs, booze, adultery, suicide, voodoo, and murder. These side plots are too loosely connected to the easily solved main mystery, and the transitions are jarring. Also, too much time is spent proving Elizabeth Caley's obvious drug addiction, tempting the reader to agree when the actress reminds Lorraine, "You are supposed to be investigating the disappearance of my daughter, not delving into my private life." Still, a respectable effort. La Plante (Entwined, LJ 5/15/93) and her heroine Lorraine are both talents worth watching. A good purchase for public library collections.Lori Dunn, Montgomery Cty.

Cold Blood
Can she play the game, and win?
Suspicion and fear surround the mysterious disappearance of a movie star's daughter.
The race to claim the reward for finding Anna Louise Caley - dead or alive - spirals into a deadly voodoo trail in the French quarter of New Orleans.
In her desperation to succeed in her first case as a private detective, ex-Lieutenant Lorraine Page is caught in a web of deceit and violence that threatens to drag her back into the murky world she has fought so hard to escape.
Continuing the investigation means risking everything. But the million-dollar bonus is one hell of an incentive not to back off from a case that could kill her - or give her the future and the professional respect she craves.
The complete and unabridged Lorraine Page trilogy available for the first time in audio!
