Blues in the Night

An unidentified young woman in a nightgown is the seriously injured victim of a hit-and-run accident on Mulholland Drive. The image of her stumbling along a dark, winding road is one that Molly Blume, a freelance true-crime writer, cannot shake. It draws her to the victim's bedside in intensive care. There, Lenore Saunders whispers to her three names: Robbie, Max, and Nina. Digging for the truth, Molly discovers that Lenore lived a painfully fractured life, so different from Molly's own secure and loving Orthodox Jewish background. And as a chilling picture of the unfortunate woman begins to take shape, the menace of murders past and present stirs and quickens.
