Blue Lonesome by Bill Pronzini

3.0

Jim Messenger is a CPA living a dull existence in San Francisco, when he notices a woman in the cafe that he frequents. The woman appears to be as lonely and alone as Jim is, so he works up the courage to speak with her after he notices that she comes in the same time every night. He works up the courage to speak with her, but she makes it clear she wants nothing to do with him. Then she stops coming into the cafe, and Jim is worried about her. Jim Messenger's life is no longer dull.
