Blue Moon
by John Morgan Wilson, Peter Duchin

Bandleader Philip Damon still hasn't recovered from the death of his wife-victim of a still-unsolved murder-when he arrives at a charity ball at San Francisco's Fairmont Hotel. So, understandably, he's quite shaken to meet Lenore Ashley there, as she uncannily resembles his late wife. But the belle of the ball becomes a suspect when her companion is found dead with an ice pick in his heart. Now, Philip must solve two murders-and discover why he is the one link between them.

John Morgan Wilson's Bio

John Morgan Wilson is an American journalist and author of crime fiction, notably the award-winning Benjamin Justice mystery novels. The books feature a reclusive ex-reporter, ruined by a Pulitzer scandal and haunted by personal loss, who operates out of West Hollywood, California, becoming enmeshed in murder investigations in and around Los Angeles. Simple Justice led the series in 1996, winning the Mystery Writers of America Edgar Award for Best First Novel. Six of the eight Justice mysteries, including Simple Justice, were nominated for Lambda Literary Awards for Best Gay Men’s Mystery, three of them winning in that category. Originally published by Doubleday (the first four books) and St. Martin’s Press (the last four), the series was revived in late 2020 when ReQueered Tales [www.requeeredtales.com] released Simple Justice in a revised 25th anniversary edition, with a Foreword by Christopher Rice [en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christopher_Rice]. At that time, RQT announced plans to publish all eight titles in eBook and paperback formats. Revision of Justice, the second Justice mystery, set in the highly competitive and often heartbreaking world of Hollywood screenwriting, will be released in a heavily revised edition in late 2021. The remaining titles, also revised, will follow over the next few years.
