Claire DeWitt and the City of the Dead (Claire DeWitt Novels)

â‚¬Å“Delicious and addictive.â‚¬Ââ‚¬"Salon.com

â‚¬Å“Reads . . .Â as if David Lynch directed a Raymond Chandler novel.â‚¬Ââ‚¬"CNN

â‚¬Å“What would you get if that punkish dragon girl Lisbeth Salander met up with Jim Sallisâ‚¬s Lew Griffin walking the back streets of New Orleans? Or Sue Graftonâ‚¬s Kinsey Millhone transformed herself into a tattooed magnolia driving a 4x4? Clare DeWitt, thatâ‚¬s what youâ‚¬d get . . . DeWittâ‚¬s mesmerizing character and memorable voice take your breath away.â‚¬Ââ‚¬"New Orleans Times-Picayune

This knock-out start to a bracingly original new series features Claire DeWitt, the worldâ‚¬s greatest PIâ‚¬"at least, that's what she calls herself. A one-time teen detective in Brooklyn, she is a follower of the esoteric French detective Jacques Silette, whose mysterious handbook DÂ©tection inspired Claireâ‚¬s unusual practices. Claire also has deep roots in New Orleans, where she was mentored by Siletteâ‚¬s student the brilliant Constance Darlingâ‚¬"until Darling was murdered. When a respected DA goes missing she returns to the hurricane-ravaged city to find out why.

â‚¬Å“The hard-living, wisecracking titular detective bounces around post-Katrina New Orleans trying to track down a missing prosecutor in this auspicious debut of a new mystery seriesâ‚¬"and the Big Easy is every bit her equal in sass and flavor.â‚¬Ââ‚¬"Elle

â‚¬Å“Reminds me why I fell in love with the genre.â‚¬Ââ‚¬"Laura Lippman
