Publisher's Synopsis
Charlie Huston's Hank Thompson novels meet Lawrence Block's Matt Scudder series in this gritty neo-noir set in New Orleans.
Four years after Hurricane Katrina and the death of his wife, New Orleans bar owner Adel Destin has just kicked his heroin habit when Sondra Williams--an ex-junkie who once revived him from an overdose--begs him to help her find her missing sister. Adel has no choice but to accept, and soon is on the trail of a serial killer targeting women living on the fringe of society.
Navigating temptations from his old life, dirty NOPD cops, and friends who turn to enemies in the delta heat, Adel must find the killer or end up framed for murder in The City that Care Forgot.
