My Sweet Untraceable You - Hardcover

For the initial paperback covers of Sandara Scoppettone's Lauren Laurano mysteries, we did photo shoots in locations in and around Greenwich Village. Though they were loads of fun to art direct (MY SWEET UNTRACEABLE YOU was shot on Bleecker Street in the middle of a blizzard, but still the crowds gathered to watch our model private eye lurking round corners), we decided to change directions and go with a brighter more graphic cover rather than the dark, moody look. LET'S FACE THE MUSIC AND DIE turned out great. (With its bright yellow background, you certainly can't miss it on the shelf.) Now I'm working on Sandra Scoppettone's new mystery, GONNA TAKE A HOMICIDAL JOURNEY, which takes place largely outside of New York, on Long Island. This may be the last novel in the Lauren Laurano series, so I want to end it with a BANG!

Scoppettone's mysteries are a sparkling combination of detective story, lesbian comedy of manners, steamy New York atmosphere and social critique."
--San Francisco Chronicle
"FAST-PACED AND UNPREDICTABLE...Laurano's quick wit and her canny observations on life and people make this a delightful novel."
--Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
When an unlikely character named Boston Blackie hires Lauren Laurano to find out who killed his mother more than thirty-five years ago, Lauren learns that the murdered mom may not be actually dead.
Then again she might. To find out, Lauren goes toe-to-toe with a cast of actor wannabes. Using her uncanny knack for finding the truth, her computer bulletin board, and a little extra help from her friends in the theater world, Lauren plans to bring down the curtain on murder, revenge, and the greedy ghosts of the past.
But someone else hopes she takes a final deadly bow....
"Engaging, entertaining, and eminently readable
