Synopsis
From the elegant brothel on Basin Street where Kate Townsend's body was found on her lace-hung bed, to the prison cell from which Kenneth Neu serenaded his "mystery woman," the murder history of New Orleans has been a dramatic one. Robert Tallant worked from contemporary records, and the stories, while authentic, make fascinating reading. This book is written by a novelist who can make the people and scenes leap from the pages.
