From an acclaimed author who "made her bones writing urban noir" a "charmer" of a female sleuth searches for a missing person in post-Katrina New Orleans (New York Times).
This knock-out start to a bracingly original new series features Claire DeWitt, the world's greatest PI-at least, that's what she calls herself. A follower of the esoteric French detective Jacques Silette, whose mysterious handbookDétectioninspired Claire's unusual investigation practices, Claire has deep roots in New Orleans, where she was mentored by Silette's student the brilliant Constance Darling-until Darling was murdered. When a respected DA goes missing in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, she returns to the hurricane-ravaged city to find out why-and find herself prowling deep in the city's criminal underbelly.

Or Sue Grafton's Kinsey Millhone transformed herself into a tattooed magnolia driving a 4x4? Clare DeWitt, that's what you'd get . . . DeWitt's mesmerizing character and memorable voice take your breath away." -New Orleans Times-Picayune
"[An] auspicious debut of a new mystery series." -Elle
"Reminds me why I fell in love with the genre." -Laura Lippman, New York Times bestselling author of Prom Mom
"Ilove this book!" -Sue Grafton, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Kinsey Milhone series
"Reads . . .as if David Lynch directed a Raymond Chandler novel." -CNN

"Captivating." -Publishers Weekly, starred review
