After his wife's death, former detective Sam Lerner returns to his native New Orleans and ends up at the Gentlemen's Club, an escort establishment owned by his longtime friend. There, he befriends Madsen a young Creole who cares for him as he struggles to overcome his grief and growing dependence on alcohol.

But when Madsen is found dead, Sam is drawn into the investigation. As more escorts disappear, Sam delves ever deeper into the bayous, cemeteries, levees and bistros of the Vieux Carre, and discovers a shocking secret.

I have a rule. If after reading 10% of a book I still fill as if I am reading an introduction, I quit reading it, and move to another one.
No wander this book has an high mark but no real reviews. More then that, the high marks are coming mostly from people that do not have previous reviews.
I suspect "Fake News" here.
Its a free book so you can check for yourself.

Very good read. Action packed with a lot of good references about New Orleans and the lifestyles of the area.
