Long Beach, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 12/16/2014 -- This week marks the nationwide re-release of "Who Done It...For Nothing?: A 1930s Murder Mystery ," a "funny, quick-paced" new book by authors Gene Dermody and Gail Reifert Dermody.

Mitzy Raven again teams up with Long Beach Detective Jack Mallet in solving a most disturbing (disturbingly funny) homicide case. When murder happens close to home, Miss Raven refuses to support Mallet's attention on his prime suspect. Instead, Mitzy takes us in an exciting trip through 1930's Southern California to crack the case on her own. She wants to prove Jack wrong not only about the murder but also about his belief that women can't be private investigators.
