Lucien Caye Series Novel #5

The cases come quickly to New Orleans Private Eye Lucien Caye

In the spring of 1952 –

1. A missing person case involving deception, greed and a possible murder.

2. A nosy father wants to know about his daughter who joined the beat generation.

3. A vengeful father wants to locate the photographer who took lurid pictures of his adult daughter.

4. Men in a black Chrysler Imperial accost women on the street, leading to bloody violence.

Lucien's new wife, the alluring Alizée, is on a roll – writing and publishing songs, modeling, becoming a PI, bringing her sharp mind and knockout-looks to the agency. It takes a cool head to be a good private eye, along with quick wits. As usual in New Orleans, gunfire echoes, leaving the innocent to mourn lost loved ones.

New short story available

HOLLOW POINT is a 10,000 word lost story from an out-of-print volume. Set in 1984 New Orleans when Dino LaStanza and Jodie Kintyre are still partners in the Homicide Division, it is a hardboiled police story for only $2.99

The search is on for a heinous criminal. A rapist on early release from prison tracks down his victim and attacks her again. The New Orleans Police Department goes into a frenzy trying to find this man who shoots one of his cop pursuers and keeps running. NOPD Homicide Detectives Dino LaStanza and Jodie Kintyre set up a stakeout on a family member of the criminal and wait with their handcuffs and .357 magnums. LaStanza, a Sicilian-American living-example of the Wyatt Earp Syndrome – cops who kill criminals rather than apprehend them – has loaded his weapon with semi-jacketed hollow point rounds against regulations and waits patiently. Like a leopard.

The exploits of NOPD Detective LaStanza can be found in the short story collection LaSTANZA: NEW ORLEANS POLICE STORIES and in the eight novels in the ongoing LaStanza series: GRIM REAPER, THE BIG KISS, BLUE ORLEANS, CRESCENT CITY KILLS, THE BIG SHOW, NEW ORLEANS HOMICIDE, THE BLUE NUDE and THE LONG COLD.

NEW New Orleans novel released

NEW ORLEANS RAPACIOUS

by O'Neil De Noux

Rapacious defined – aggressively greedy, ravenous, plundering, taking by force, subsisting on live prey.

It starts as a wandering daughter case when a pretty widow hires New Orleans Private Eye Lucien Caye to find her twenty-two year old daughter. The date is April 10, 1947, and Helen Croix walks into Caye’s office with a picture of her missing daughter, Madelyn. She warns Lucien he’ll be tempted when he finds the alluring, strawberry-blond, temptress. Madelyn Croix will most likely seduce him. Helen describes her daughter as rapacious. Lucien has to look up the word to discover it means avaricious, greedy, ravenous – subsisting on live prey.

On Madelyn’s trail, Lucien comes across a love-sick lawyer, a seedy photographer, a suspicious psychiatrist, a jealous husband, the worst private eye in New Orleans, a mischievous black kitten and a bevy of pretty women willing to bed him. Shortly after the love-sick lawyer is murdered, Madelyn Croix comes to Lucien one night with that curvaceous body and Prussian-blue eyes that blink ever so slowly, precisely, like a falcon and he realizes – rapacious, like a raptor, a bird of prey. Madelyn hires Lucien to protect her. Someone is trying to kill her.

A Walloping Read

Y'all know I'm a New Orleans writer, so when I praise a book set here, I pretty much know what I'm talking about.

I have high praise for SWAMP WALLOPER (A Fight Card Book) by Jack Tunney, edited by Paul Bishop. Available at amazon.com for only $2.99

Here is the 5 Star Review I wrote for it:

Take a trip back to the 1950s, to Los Angeles and then to creepy Bayou Sauvage the only swamp within the city limits of a major American city - New Orleans. This is a wild ride full of great boxing scenes and some of the most interesting characters I've come across in a while. Patrick Felony Flynn and his wily cop partner Tombstone Jones are city slick hombres pitted against some truly evil villains. Don't want to tip off too much about the plot but there isn't a wasted word here.
