Blue Orleans (LaStanza New Orleans Police Novels)

BLUE ORLEANS – LaStanza Novel #3

This is New Orleans – 1982
The case is not only a ‘whodunit’ but also a ‘whoisit’ - the case of a body dumped in a ditch along an isolated stretch of a deserted highway. The victim is shot in the back of the head, execution-style.

A bone-tired NOPD Det. LaStanza identifies the victim then meets his victim’s seventeen year old daughter who is reluctant to talk at first, but when she does, she draws LaStanza to a Latin-American killing circle where he must build a case against drug importers and keep the daughter alive.

The ‘Electric Daughter’ is an alluring, beautiful, wired hellion, a drug user running wild in the streets. Her Electra complex with her father makes her want LaStanza to take her father’s place, when all he wants to do is put the ruthless murderers behind bars.
