New Orleans will never be the same as before Katrina -
more so because the hurricane took the love of Remy
Comeaux's life. Now crashing a swanky party at a moneyed
estate, the PI and former narcotics cop has a lot of
grudges, and not just against floodwater. Allegations of
police corruption and murder fill his thoughts, but he
still notices a gorgeous Southern redhead. Nicole is
dating Remy's main suspect but Remy's warnings arouse her
suspicions and she decides to sort out the truth - even if
it means putting herself in harm's way.
BAYOU JEOPARDY by Rita Herron
Mack Rivet, ex-detective, mourned the loss of his wife and
child during Katrina. But life moves on. In his case
though, he's stuck with a bad name as a corrupt cop. When
he learns that the man responsible for tarnishing his
reputation has been jailed for serious crimes, he hopes
there could be a chance to clear his name. But his wife
Lily and their son survived unknown to him, believing that
Mack had drowned. When they meet, the man who lied to them
all and wrecked their personal lives becomes Mack's
priority.
BAYOU JUSTICE Mallory Kane
Ray Storm was an FBI agent living in New Orleans during
Katrina. Now he's back and absorbing the changes to his old
district. Angel DePuye, who used to be an addict and his
confidential informant, has gotten clean and joined the
police force. Ray knows that hundreds of thousands of
documents, including police evidence, were destroyed in the
flooding, and large numbers of people used the opportunity
to disappear. A girl called Molly Hennessy was allowed to
believe that Ray had died, because he'd slept with her, got
information on her brother and used it to build a case. Ray
meets her again and really wishes there wasn't so much
standing between them... what's more, he spots that she's
being followed.
The linked novellas all show the dark side of the graceful
old city. I really hope police corruption wasn't and isn't
as widespread as we're told. The lingering after-effects of
the storm figure hugely; some neighbourhoods are rebuilt,
others desolate, others changed beyond recognition for the
characters. This is an interesting read, but it's more noir
than Mardi Gras.
