Cities of the Dead (Michael Spraggue, Bk 4)
reviewed on


Steam rises from the streets and strippers dance in light as bleary as a drunk's vision. But private eye Michael Spraggue didn't come to New Orleans to gawk. He's trying to get an innocent woman off the hook for killing her ex-husband with a cooking knife.

Hired by his Aunt Mary--for whom Dora worked as a cook-Spraggue is determined to find the truth. And now he's following a raven-haired beauty and a trail of broken vows, black magic and blackmail into one of New Orleans' cities of the dead. As the smell of Cajun food fills the air and Mardi Gras erupts on the streets, Spraggue digs up a dark family secret that still has the power to kill.

One her best....
