Produktbeschreibung
New Orleans' private detective Luke Jacobs doesn't take too well to murders happening around him. He's been on a solid run of assisting local police with cases and maintains a strong reputation of doing good work. However, when a few bodies turn up in an area adjacent to his office and the post Katrina setting is still a disrupted mess, things get personal. Luke is juggling a mixture of activities and has a recurrent dream of 19th century Southern struggles which keep playing in his consciousness. With all that's going on in the Crescent City, he has to cross a high wire and do a balancing act. On board is the motley crew of associates: Matt Harris, street wise rough cat of questionable integrity, Jan Martinez, college student beauty with a handle on things most folk ignore and Joe "Fingerprints" Sway, Luke's college buddy who has just moved to the area from New York and can't quite figure out the crazed maze of New Orleans' sociopolitical climate. When the crimes are dropped onto the PI's lap, the city takes a pause from all of the standard activities, like Mardi Gras madness, to pay attention.
Autorenporträt
Our six year old son Joshua is nicknamed a 'Katrina baby.' This name is common among people in the region who had children around the period of the storm. He was born December 21, 2005, four months after we were forced to leave New Orleans. Fast forward to several subsequent moves which eventually landed us in Lafayette, Louisiana. Travels around the nation including North Carolina, New York and California have sparked his wonderful imagination. In 2011 we attended a county fair where Josh won a stuffed animal dragon by tossing an impossibly small ring over the neck of a Coca Cola bottle. This victory prompted him to make up the story of Griffin the Dragon and the Jump House. He is a first grade student at AES gators in Lafayette, La. They are excited about this second project., Griffin the Dragon and the Game of Chess for Kids Ken Mask is a board certified physician living and practicing medicine in Louisiana. The former LSU Medical Center Assistant Professor of Clinical Radiology has written for medical journals as well as popular magazines.
