A Hot Night in the Naked City is a new short story from Cate Troyer.
Written in the style of old noir detective stories, Cate changes things up by making the hard-boiled detective a woman with strong desires. Esmerelda and her "gal Friday" meet with Dr. Richard Thicke to discuss finding a priceless, old fertility idol. The detective has some demands of her own before she agrees though.
This short story is definitely not for children, but if you are looking for a tale to make your pulse race in other ways, you'll find it here.
It is available for free on Amazon this Friday and Saturday! Make sure you leave a review if you like it!
