The Sally Tepper series was among Lydia Adamson’s earliest mystery writing. Sleeping Dogs Die, published in 1988, and Take the D Train, from 1990, follow Sally Tepper through criminal investigations in New York City.
These two books predate the Alice Nestleton cat mysteries that would make the Adamson name famous, and they have a somewhat different tone — less cozy, more straightforwardly noir-influenced than what came later.
