In 1900, the crumbling French Quarter is an enclave of immigrants, primarily Sicilian. Early one July evening, four-year-old Luigi Bova is lured from in front of his house by the promise of ice-cream by a man who tosses Luigi into the back of a passing wagon. A frantic search ensues but Sicilians are reluctant to call the New Orleans Police Department populated by mostly Irishmen. Detective Jacques Dugas, taking a short cut through the Quarter, comes upon a street full of people looking for the missing boy and takes command of the situation.

Great New Orleans-flavored story
Revisado: 12-30-22
Excellent murder mystery set authentically in New Orleans with all the local flavor one could want. The narrative moves quickly, peppered with the unique elements the city and characters its culture embodies, and the ending is unexpected and compelling. The narrator is the only weak link, reading quickly with little inflection, and his pronunciation of some terms in “New Orleansese” is sometime off and distracting, such as “pray-leens” rather than “praw-leens.” But, as with most narrators of a good story, one quickly gets used to this and is engrossed in the detective aspects, the romance, and sun-plots. The narrator is good at the various dialects, with the sole exception of the French detective’s Nee Orleans accent.
Overall a great read!

Out of 150 dystopian novels, this is the worst.
Revisado: 07-22-20
I"ve listened to over 150 dystopian novels, some excellent and some marginal. This author reminds me of the old "blue book" essay tests in college when, knowing little or nothing about the topic, the student writes and writes any and all of the most tangential, irrelevant thoughts simply to fill up the blue book. But the worst aspect is the stupid, suicidal decisions the characters make time and again in crisis situations. There's no suspense or drama because its like following Alice through Wonderland. I was patient, but as the books progress they only get worse.
