Martin's. When the smiling King of Carnival is killed at Mardi Gras, policewoman Skip Langdon is on the case. She knows the upper-crust family of the victim and that it hides more than its share of glittering skeletons.

New Orleans Mourning: It's Mardi Gras in New Orleans, and as the gaudy Rex parade proceeds down St. Charles Avenue, hysterical revelers crowd the street to see the King of Carnival. This year he's the prominent Chauncey St. Armant: upper crust, yet down to earth, he's an ideal Monarch of Mirth. Until a costumed killer's bullet wipes the smile off his face. Policewoman Skip Langdon is on the case. Daughter of social climbing parents, Skip is well acquainted with the St. Amants. What's more, she knows that the glittering dynasty hides more than its share of family skeletons. But nothing could prepare Skip for the web of tangled clues and ancient secrets that would mean danger for her and doom for the St. Amants.

Death Turns a Trick: It's one thing to represent hookers in court and quite another to play piano for fun at a feminist bordello. So when San Fransisco attorney Rebecca Schwartz barely escapes a police raid, she has only herself to blame. Bit it's not over yet. By the time she gets back to her apartment, Rebecca discovers the bludgeoned body of beautiful Kandi, a college student and part time prostitute. Rebecca is beginning to feel besieged- as indeed she soo is - by a killer. For a nice Jewish girl from staid Marin County, life is becoming much too complicated. Fast, funny, and wise, Death Turns A Trick is one more extraordinary turn for author Julie Smith, one of the best creators of contemporary mystery fiction writing today. .
