The Neon Smile

Lochte's second Terry Manion novel, The Neon Smile, was praised by Publishers Weekly with a starred review. Joseph Wambaugh called it "as colorful and entertaining as any police thriller ever inspired by the fascinating and fantastical Big Easy." Sue Grafton found the novel a "tantalizing blend of past and present." Jonathan Kellerman called it "Dick Lochte's magnum opus . . . I couldn't put it down." This Perfect Crime edition contains a new Afterword by the author.
