New Orleans Nocturnal

NEW ORLEANS NOCTURNAL is a series of nine short stories featuring New Orleans Police Homicide Detective John Raven Beau. Half-Cajun and Half-Sioux, Beau is a relentless pursuer, a man who will track a killer across miles of dark streets, through swamps, wastelands, over rivers and bayous. He will never give up. And he's an excellent marksman who also carries an obsidian hunting knife. Claims that he's scalped a few murderers is a persistent rumor. Nocturnal. Occurring at night. Darkness. Not all of these stories occur at night, but each explores the darkest places in the murder capital of America and the dark recesses of the human heart. Come spend some time with John Raven Beau. He'll show you a few things. STORIES INCLUDE: "Love and Murder" * "Don't Make Me Take Off My Sunglasses" * "Murder Most Sweet" * "When the Levees Break" * "Pretty Rita" and "The Bonnie and Clyde Caper" - runner-up for The Short Mystery Fiction Society's 2009 DERRINGER AWARD for 'Best Long Story'.
