The Double Feature Mystery series puts its detective behind the concession stand. The owner of a struggling movie theater finds that murder keeps following him to work, with investigations playing out among the old projection equipment and flickering screens. The movie-referencing titles — Some Like It Hot-Buttered, It Happened One Knife, A Night at the Operation — signal the series’ playful approach.
Three books from 2007 to 2009 give Cohen a distinctive setting for his brand of humorous mystery fiction, where the love of old movies and the reality of running a failing business provide both backdrop and comedy.
