Seller's Description:
Very Good. No Jacket. Book First paperback printing, June 1991, so stated with complete number line beginning with 1. Reading creases, slight spine lean. The first volume in the Jack Lynch New Orleans Trilogy, opens in old New Orleans, a pre-Katrina New Orleans, a place still haunted by the ghosts of Huey Long and his political heirs. Before internet and cell phones and social media, a New Orleans that--unlike the New Orleans of today--deserved its reputation as The Big Easy. " The stench of corruption permeates this first novel on political life and death in New Orleans. Jack Lynch, erstwhile newspaperman and director of public relations for the First Interstate Bank of Louisiana, is a troubleshooter for William Jennings, bank president and power broker. Jennings's biggest deal ever--the Iris Project, slum clearance and real estate grab at its most grandiose--is jeopardized by civil sheriff Murphy, a ward heeler and fixer of dubious reputation and mentality. Lynch suspects a crooked lawyer behind the scenes but instead encounters his ex-father-in-law, James Herbert, a former district attorney with a spotless reputation, whom he had idolized. Lynch sets out to find a handle on Herbert, expecting failure but encountering instead a clue that might lead to feet of clay. The investigation triggers three murders and leads to the protagonist's final confrontation with the power and corruption with which he has flirted for years. Womack delivers a vigorous and well-written addition to the genre, with particular emphasis on details and characterization of minor figures."--Publishers Weekly.
