This is another complex
mystery by Blake set in New Orleans
with Hurricane Katrina as a back drop
Franco Patrese is back and
in New Orleans. We met Franco in Blake’s book Thou
Shalt Kill. Franco left Pittsburgh after the
horrendous events in that book and joined the FBI.
Black uses the color and
characters of New Orleans
as the perfect backdrop for a series of horrific killings. Franco finds himself far more involved than
just an investigator.
The story has voodoo and
hoodo, sex and violence, snakes and politicians (unless that is a given
redundancy) with big business and Mexican drug lords. You could hardly ask for more action and
head scratching trying to put it all together.
Blake is a master at sensible complexity.
Daniel Blake did an
excellent job with this book.
I highly recommend the book.

This book may have been received free of charge from a publisher or a publicist. That will NEVER have a bearing on my recommendations.
