Suspense
Claire DeWitt is not your average private investigator. She
has brilliant deductive skills and is an ace at discovering
evidence. But Claire also uses her dreams, omens, and
mind-expanding herbs to help her solve mysteries, and relies
on Détection — the only book published by the late, great,
and mysterious French detective Jacques Silette. The tattooed, pot-smoking Claire has just arrived in
post-Katrina New Orleans, the city she’s avoided since her
mentor, Silette’s student Constance Darling, was murdered
there. Claire is investigating the disappearance of Vic
Willing, a prosecutor known for winning convictions in a
homicide- plagued city. Has an angry criminal enacted
revenge on Vic? Or did he use the storm as a means to
disappear? Claire follows the clues, finding old friends and
making new enemies — foremost among them Andray Fairview, a
young gang member who just might hold the key to the mystery. Littered with memories of Claire’s years as a girl detective
in 1980s Brooklyn, Claire DeWitt and the City of the Dead is
a knockout start to a bracingly original new series.
