Mystery
The irresistible, razor-sharp second book in the
post-Katrina New Orleans-set crime series featuring
unforgettable and gutsy reporter Nola Céspedes Early one morning, Times-Picayune crime reporter Nola
Céspedes goes for her regular run in Audubon Park. More than
the heat of the dawning New Orleans day, she's trying to
outrun her growing unease with the man she's seeing, who is
pushing her to get more serious. Instead, Nola finds herself
at the scene of a crime when she discovers a dead body.
Worse, Nola recognizes the victim: Judith Taffner, her
former journalism professor at Tulane. Not convinced Dr. Taffner's murder was the random work of a
psychopath, and not one to put much trust in the good ol'
boys of the NOPD, Nola takes it upon herself to investigate.
She discovers that Dr. Taffner was working on two explosive
stories, both of which would shock even this notoriously
corrupt city. And when an apparently related murder occurs
in the middle of New Orleans' packed Jazz Fest, Nola
realizes it's only a matter of time before she becomes a
ruthless killer's next target. Rich with details of New Orleans and featuring an original,
tough heroine as fascinating as the city itself, Nearer
Home is the perfect follow-up to Joy Castro's Hell or
High Water, confirming her status as a talented new
crime writer to watch.
