Description

New Orleans, and Vic Willing, Assistant District Attorney for the prosecutors’ office, has been missing since Hurricane Katrina hit. Called in from San Francisco is Claire DeWitt, a detective whose expertise and methods derive from some unique sources. What Claire discovers takes us into the heart of the crime-ravaged, deeply wounded city, where those who can afford it live behind fences and those who can’t are slain daily on the streets. And it’s there she discovers that the only thing worse than an unsolved case, maybe, is a solved one.

Professional reviews

"'Terrific. I loved this book! Sara Gran recombines all the elements of good, solid story-telling and lifts something original from them. Hers is the first fresh voice I've heard in years.' SUE GRAFTON, author of the 'Alphabet' series ‘This is deeply intelligent fiction that cuts deep and captures a city's soul. Claire DeWitt's power will sneak up on you.' ATTICA LOCKE, author of Black Water Rising With CITY OF THE DEAD, Sara Gran has pulled the traditional female sleuth into the twenty-first century with a novel that's smart and hip, dark and funny. I can't wait for the next one.' ALAFAIR BURKE, author of City of Lies"
