Detective Skye Masterson knew the case was dirty. The case? The case labelled an “open/unsolved” by the police about a dead black stripper named Irma found beaten to death in a motel that catered to those with a taste for the exotic. The exotic? Well, this is 1956 after all. And such things were talked about only in whispers and done only in secret.
But whispers have a way of being overheard. And secrets have a way of getting out. And when they do, they usually end up right on Skye Masterson's doorstep.
Especially when there's an eyewitness to it all.
An eyewitness who knew the dead stripper. An eyewitness who had a roll of film showing exactly how she got that way. An eyewitness who could testify to the dead stripper and the roll of film's connection to a rich society kid who loved the shady side of life.
A rich society kid with…A taste for Irma.
“A Taste For Irma” by Darryl Hughes. A hard boiled detective murder mystery crime thriller.
LMAO! I never even stopped to consider that. Where does the celery come from? That's the real mystery of this story that Cinder and Pepper should be trying to figure out. ;D Dee - Succubus writer dude

He should have hired Ozzy as security...

The ironic thing is that he can't just fire the incompetent security guys now that he's dead.

It's another awesome, gruesome death scene. But I wonder if she brings the celery with her or finds it on-site.

Well, if she's not seen carrying it, then it must be tucked away somewhere... ;-)
