Acerca deste libro electrónico
The murder of a rare book expert leads New Orleans PI Neal Rafferty down a rabbit hole of Big Easy corruption in this “lean, smart” debut mystery (Kirkus Reviews).
Nothing is what it seems in New Orleans, but this murder was one for the books . . . two books to be exact; a missing set of William Blake rarities—and street-smart detective Neal Rafferty has been hired to find them.
Instead, what he finds is the body of a rare book dealer and a growing list of females—each with a pretty good reason to do him in. There’s his all too ready to confess wife, his unhappy, illegitimate daughter, and the beautiful, sensual Catherine—a woman who’s a lot easier to love than she is to believe.
What does a tough private eye do when he finds himself falling for the prime suspect in a murder case? The answers, and the truth, may be hiding in the steamy streets and sleazy bars of New Orleans, and Rafferty’s got to choose the right one . . . choose between a truth he can live with and one he could end up dying for.

Acerca do autor
Christine Wiltz, a native of New Orleans, is the author of five novels, including The Killing Circle, A Diamond Before You Die, and The Emerald Lizard, all set in New Orleans and featuring Irish Channel detective Neal Rafferty. Her novel The Glass House was praised by the New York Times as “unflinchingly honest” and a book that “needs to be read on both sides of Convent Street.” Shoot the Money, her most recent fiction, is an edgy “sisters in crime” novel reminiscent of Thelma and Louise. The Last Madam, her biography of French Quarter legend Norma Wallace, is under option for film.
Wiltz has written for the New Yorker, the Los Angeles Times, and numerous other publications. She has been a writer-in-residence and adjunct professor at both Tulane and Loyola Universities.
