I love old film noir mysteries. Do you?
This picture was one of many that inspired my erotic mystery, "Taken In."
Here's an excerpt from "Taken In":
"They were silent for a few minutes, bathed in the afterglow. Coltrane’s saxophone played dreamily in the background.
She noticed a gold-plated cigar ashtray on the bedside table and asked, “Do you mind if I smoke, honey?”
“Sure. Be my guest."
She walked over to her purse and pulled out a cigarette, then came back to bed. Sitting up and leaning against the headboard, she lit her cigarette and blew out a few smoke rings. Both sat wordlessly, listening to the music, each deep in thought. When the song ended, Jessica stood and said, “You know, Detective. I’m really going to miss this.”
With hooded eyes, he glared at her with suspicion. “What do you mean you’re going to miss this?”
She put out her cigarette and gathered her belongings. After dressing, she reached into her handbag, pulled out a compact, and reapplied her cherry red lipstick. Drawing out each word, she told him, “Detective Harrison, you are very lucky that I like you.”
Then, abruptly, she stood and kissed the top of his head and headed for the door.
“What the hell did you mean by that?” he yelled. "Hey, Jessica! Where are you going?!"
"Bye, honey," she replied and quietly shut the door behind her.
He was flabbergasted by her behavior and cried out, "Hey! Jessica! This isn't fun and games anymore! I'm serious! Where are you going?! Untie me! Get me out of this damn chair!"
Only silence, in a darkened room, echoed his complaint."
