LaStanza is back, along with his crew of misfit private eyes at Mystery, Inc (MINC). He may be semi-retired, but former homicide detective turned private eye Dino LaStanza works a slew of cases – an extortion case involving a rotten private eye, a man obsessed with a woman he saw flashing her breasts at Mardi Gras, a dying client needing her son found, an elderly lady believing her granddaughter is up to no good. She’s right. There is stolen treasure from World War I, a nasty loan shark, a femme fatale, crazy greyhounds, a five foot cottonmouth water moccasin, savage dogs on a rampage and a white kitten. Topping off the cases – a murder right down the block from the offices of Mystery, Inc.
Not to be outshined by her husband, Lizette Louvier LaStanza injects herself into the cases, surprising everyone with her detective skills. Everyone except LaStanza, who knows his alluring wife is more than a pretty face and a beautiful body.
This book is as New Orleans at it gets. SHUT UP. NO YOU SHUT UP.
