Description
“Take one cup of Raymond Chandler, one cup of Tennessee Williams, add a quart of salty humor, and you will get . . . Dunbar’s crazy mixture of crime and offbeat comedy.” —The Baltimore Sun
A New Orleans lawyer who’d rather eat, drink, and swap stories than get caught in court, Tubby Dubonnet can’t forget the last words that escaped an old friend’s lips, and he can’t get out of the way of a political campaign that’s turning rough. Obsessed with the idea that a shadowy crime boss may be pulling the strings that have cost good people their lives, Tubby is entering into a test of courage with the most violent men in New Orleans. And if that weren’t dangerous enough, he’s just picked up the worst ally he could ever find: a beautiful prostitute gunning for revenge.
A funny-hard-boiled mystery with as many laughs as chills.
