The midnight show murders : a Billy Blessing novel / Al Roker and Dick Lochte.

Sequel to the author's mystery debut, "The Morning show murders." Professional chef turned amateur sleuth Billy Blessing finds himself in hot water, when a brutal killing cancels a TV show--and its host--during it debut. Celebrity chef and Wake Up, America! co-host Billy Blessing heads to Los Angeles in order to help launch O'Day At Night, a new late night show hosted by Irish comedian Desmond O'Day. LA brings up bad--and bloody--memories for Billy, but a special request from the head of the network sends him flying across the country. Twenty years ago, before becoming a famous New York Chef, Billy worked in LA at Chez Anisette. One unfortunate evening, the young hostess, Tiffany Arden, was murdered with a meat tenderizer. While Billy always suspected the head chef, Roger Charbonnet, to be the murderer, the case was never solved. Now, back in a city he never thought he'd return to, Billy is confronted by Roger who is still determined to exact vengeance. After a horrifying explosion during taping kills more than Desmond O'Day's chance at high ratings, Billy believes that he was the intended target--and that Roger was somehow involved. But when politics, infidelity, and high finance get sprinkled in, the case turns out to have more ingredients than Billy ever imagined. -- Dust jacket.
