I've had this book languishing on my Kindle for quite awhile now. I had at the time read several books with settings in New Orleans and on some level they seemed to run together. Not just geographically, primarily supporting character's attitudes, situations and actions. There always seemed to be a shared cast of supporting  characters, at least one, Cross gender performer,  a corrupt Sheriff and of coarse  Drug dealers with attendant enforcers. Well it is New Orleans ( fictional of course) and the authors do remain consistent in there portrayal. What is different is how Tony Dunbar has portrayed them, as multidimensional, often with normal attributes. While nothing seems over blown there are still surprises and a large than life feel to both the characters and New Orleans.While I'm almost certain there wasn't a writers convention in New Orleans ( Only tourists ,  Writers,  often Authors,  call it the Big Easy ).  ( Probably not sanctioned  by the Tourist bureau and or the Chamber of Commerce ) where plots and characters were agreed upon and assignments were given out. While some may feel Tony got the short shrift when this august group turned as one and said Tony you can't embellish. Little did they know his book would be best of the bunch.
