Reporter Jim Malhaven is riding on top of the world. June is busting out all over, and he's about to marry the love of his life. He has no idea everything will come crashing down when he's called out to investigate the news of a woman found dead in the local movie theater.

Now he's been arrested by Joey Flanagan, his best and oldest friend, and on a charge of Murder in the First, no less. Will it be up to his new bride to save the day?

This is Book Three in the Malhaven Mystery Series, light noir novels with a cozy mystery feel and a touch of the paranormal that pay loving tribute to the wise guy detectives of the 40s and 50s.
