From the author of Venetian Blonde, Buh-Bye Cruel World and Save Me, Lloyd Bridges comes a new and exciting "Drake Haynes" noirella...PORTMANTEAU. Portmanteau begins with the wedding of newspaper columnist Haynes to the woman with whom he has fallen deeply in love...the singularly named Fifi D'Orsay. Parallel to the couple's story is the narrative of an unnamed serial killer stalking the transgender women of Los Angeles. While searching for a missing teen, Haynes crosses paths with the killer, making headlines when the psychopath starts sending letters to his advice column, a la the Son of Sam. The different threads of the story come together in an exciting confrontation in the newsroom of The Hollywood Daily Drum.
