THE BLUE NUDE - LaStanza Novel #7 Away from the horrors of homicide
work and married to a gorgeous, wealthy woman, New Orleans Private
Eye Dino LaStanza can pick and choose his cases. What starts as a
simple missing person case, as photographer Ian Carnamendos seems
to have disappeared, turns ugly quickly as the photographer's
clients begin receiving threats that the sexy pictures taken of
them are about to go public. Ian Carnamendos specializes in taking
confidential, risque photos and photos of people performing sex
acts. When LaStanza stumbles on nudes of his wife as a teenager,
the case turns personal. The body of Ian Carnamendos is discovered,
then the body of Ian's assistant and LaStanza is back on his home
turf - homicide investigation. He will get to the truth, no matter
what it is, no matter what it takes - no matter what he discovers
about his Lizette. Born in New Orleans, O'Neil De Noux is a
prolific American writer of novels and short stories. Although much
of De Noux's fiction falls under the mystery genre (character-drive
crime fiction primarily), he has published stories in many
disciplines including mainstream fiction, children and young-adult
fiction, science-fiction, suspense, fantasy, horror, western,
literary, religious, romance, humor and erotica. In 2007, The
Private Eye Writers of America awarded its prestigious SHAMUS AWARD
for BEST SHORT STORY to "The Heart Has Reasons" by O'Neil De Noux.
The SHAMUS is given annually to recognize outstanding achievement
in private eye fiction. De Noux is also the 2009 DERRINGER AWARD
winner for BEST NOVELETTE for "Too Wise." The Derringer Awards are
given annually to recognize excellence in the short mystery fiction
form. In 2010, De Noux made a move to eBooks and print-on-demand
books, teaming with other artists in the art co-op Big Kiss
Productions and published SLICK TIME, a sexy caper novel, followed
by collections NEW ORLEANS MYSTERIES, NEW ORLEANS NOCTURNAL, NEW
ORLEANS CONFIDENTIAL, NEW ORLEANS PRIME EVIL and BACKWASH OF THE
MILKY WAY. In June 2012, De Noux's novel JOHN RAVEN BEAU was named
2011 POLICE BOOK OF THE YEAR by Police-Writers.com, a group that
boasts of 1153 state and local law enforcement officials from 485
state and local law enforcement agencies who have written 2504
police books. A hyper-realistic crime story, JOHN RAVEN BEAU
provides an intimate look into the beleaguered NOPD Homicide
Division, a story that begins in the French Quarter and ends in a
swamp, all within the city limits of America's eternal city, a city
that cannot be destroyed - New Orleans. Earlier in 2012, after six
months of intensive research and eighteen months of non-stop
writing, O'Neil De Noux published BATTLE KISS, a 320,000 word epic
of love and war set against the panorama of the Battle of New
Orleans, January 8, 1815. So timely is the book, released as the
bicentennial of the War of 1812 arrives, Mr. De Noux received an
Artist Services Career Advancement Award from the Louisiana
Division of the Arts for his work on BATTLE KISS. Also in 2012, Mr.
De Noux's first private eye was published. ENAMORED a novel of
obsession and murder, is set in 1950 New Orleans. Another crime
novel, BOURBON STREET, set in 1947, was released in 2012, along
with the young-adult superhero novel MISTIK. In 2012, O'Neil De
Noux was elected Vice-President of the Private Eye Writers of
America. In January 2013, the long-awaited return of NOPD Homicide
Detective Dino LaStanza came with the publication of De Noux's
crime fiction tour-de-force NEW ORLEANS HOMICIDE, along with the
re-issue of all the previous LaStanza novels as trade paperbacks
and eBooks. Two more LaStanza novels are forthcoming. LaStanza
