Sometimes, walking nude in public is the only way to solve a case. About Lucien Caye and author O'Neil De Noux
Lucien Caye became a private eye in 1947, after his second stint as a New Orleans Police Officer. Lucien built his PI resume catching Public Enemy #1 Lou Jacoby and the elusive marriage swindler, solving intricate cases - the Magnolia Murders, the mystery of the Red Witch, tragic cases like the Gungirl case, the Peeschwet, the Love Pirate, the tragic Tenderless Night case, the Erotophobia mystery, a Dreamboat Gambol case, tracking down killers in a Hard Rain case and covering a Little Iréne Escapade. A lone wolf, Lucien romanced pretty women along the way, some who thought him a Cary Grant lookalike, while others claimed he favored Gregory Peck. A working relationship with NOPD helped Lucien, who in turn assisted his buddy Lieutenant Frenchy Capdeville solve a number of murder cases. In 1950, Lucien's life changed when a seven-year-old girl was dropped off at his building with a small suitcase which included her birth certificate in the name of Jeannie Marie Caye. The result of a brief affair before the war, Jeannie was raised by her mother until her mother did not want her anymore and dropped her off to be raised by her father who did not know she existed. One look into the girl's eyes and Lucien knew this little girl would be in his heart forever. He would do everything he could for her. He had no idea how he would be able to raise her, but he'd find a way. Gone were the carefree days and torrid bachelor nights. Lucien had a daughter to raise. Not long after, a young woman entered Lucien's life, a doe-eyed, auburn haired beauty named Alizée and by 1951, Lucien was married with a young daughter. The cases keep coming as Jeannie's precocious nature emerges and Alizée initial shyness fades. A songwriter, Alizée's songs are picked up by top performers - Lena Horne, Fats Domino, Doris Day, Dina Shore, Tony Bennett, Patti Page and Frank Sinatra. She decides to write a novel, becomes a lingerie model and a part time private eye, bringing her sharp mind to the Caye Detective Agency. Alizée's erotic past and Lucien's acceptance of her sexy nature spices up Lucien's life. O'Neil De Noux writes novels and short stories with 48 books published, over 400 short story sales and a screenplay produced in 2000. Much of De Noux's writing is character-driven crime fiction, although he has written in many disciplines including historical fiction, children's fiction, mainstream fiction, mystery, science-fiction, suspense, fantasy, horror, western, literary, religious, romance, erotica and humor. Mr. De Noux is a retired police officer, a former homicide detective. His writing has garnered a number of awards including the SHAMUS AWARD twice, the DERRINGER AWARD and POLICE BOOK of the YEAR (awarded by PoliceWriters.com). Two of his stories have been featured in the BEST AMERICAN MYSTERY STORIES annual anthology (2003 and 2013). He is a past Vice-President of the Private Eye Writers of America.
