Louisiana Hotshot!
 | Confirmed grump Eddie Valentino placed the ad. Hotshot twenty-something Talba Wallis knew exactly how to answer it. And thus was born the dynamic duo of New Orleans private detectives, one cynical, sixty-five-year-old Luddite white dude with street smarts, and one young, bright-eyed, Twenty-First century African-American female poet, performance artist, mistress of disguise, and computer jock extraordinaire. Think Queen Latifah and Danny DeVito in a hilariously rocky relationship— yet with enough detective chops between them to find Atlantis. |
5.0 out of 5 stars
Julie Smith’s Triumphant Return
Long time fans of Julie Smith's witty mysteries will not be disappointed by this new title. Spinning off a character from her latest Skip Langdon mystery “
82 Desire
”, Talba Wallis, this book definitely ranks up there with Smith's Edgar Award winning “
New Orleans Mourning
.”

What they said about CROOKED MAN:
“The wacky but gentle sensibilities of Tubby Dubonnet reflect the crazed, kind heart of New Orleans better than any other mystery series.”
—
The New Orleans Times-Picayune
“Sharp and jolly … There’s a lot here to enjoy— especially some great moments in local cuisine and a wonderfully jaundiced insider’s view of a reluctant lawyer in action.”
—
Chicago Tribune
“Take one cup of Raymond Chandler, one cup of Tennessee Williams, add a quart of salty humor, and you will get something resembling Dunbar’s crazy mixture of crime and offbeat comedy.”
—
