Detective Howard Blitz knows two cities shaped him: London made him lethal. New Orleans made him relentless.
A former British Special Forces operative turned NOPD detective, Howard traded covert battlefields for the humid streets of New Orleans—but the war followed him. In a city where jazz drifts through the night air and corruption hides behind wrought-iron balconies, Howard fights a different kind of enemy—ruthless crime syndicates, political cover-ups, and ghosts from his own classified past.
When a string of murders rocks the French Quarter, the evidence points to something far more organized than street crime. As pieces of bodies surface along the Bayou’s and whispers echo through Bourbon Street, Howard realizes the tactics being used are chillingly familiar—precision strikes, military discipline, zero trace.
Someone in New Orleans has learned how to wage war, but they’re about to face a hurricane named Howard Blitz—a man who doesn’t just break enemies, he erases them from memory, who doesn’t just fight battles, he scorches earth until nothing remains but the echo of his footsteps.
Haunted by secrets he can’t confess and hunted by enemies who know exactly who he used to be, Howard must decide how far he’s willing to go to protect a city that doesn’t know his true history. In New Orleans, loyalty is currency, betrayal is tradition, and justice doesn’t always wear a badge.
Because on these streets, the past never stays buried.
