From Booklist From its punny title (the central character's name is Alex Night) to its noir paraphernalia, this is more a mystery pastiche than a genuine crime novel. Night, the Beverly Hills sleuth who's trying to make a career changehe wants to write mysteries, not investigate themcan't seem to get rid of his last case, a jewel robbery that left one person dead and two others wounded, one of the two being Night himself. While he tries to make time with the beautiful writer in the office across the hall, Night also tries to figure out who was behind the jewel robbery. This is an affectionate, lighthearted homage to the noir mysteries of the 1930s and '40s, and it mostly succeeds. Unfortunately, the author tends to hit readers over the head with allusions to classic mysteries: not only is one character's name strikingly similar to that of a wellknown figure in the genre, but Fenady, thinking we might miss it, takes time to point out the similarity. Entertaining (if not particularly subtle) fare for fans of the classic hardboiled era. David PittCopyright American Library Association. All rights reserved Product Description Andrew J. Fenady
