A New Orleans guesthouse. A social media murder. A killer with a virtual ax to grind...Roxy Reinhardt always played it safe. But when her secure and stable life crumpled to pieces she packed her bags, grabbed her cat, and moved to New Orleans. But as the new owner of the Funky Cat Inn, a newly-refurbished guesthouse in the Big Easy, she's starting to wonder if she bit off more than she can chew... With the help of her quirky new friends, Roxy is determined to make her business venture a success. And with a horde of social media influencers descending on her tiny establishment, all she has to do is create a magnificent impression, and let their followers spread the buzz... But these influencers seem more interested in bickering with one another than enjoying the Funky Cat's charms. And their internet feud quickly leads to a real-life murder, when one of them shows up as a corpse! Among these obnoxious online personalities, there's no shortage of suspects. And with her reputation on the line, and the local police breathing down her neck, shy and timid Roxy has to step up. She's got to fish for clues and solve the crime, all while escorting her guests on cocktail cruises and voodoo tomb tours... Can Roxy reveal the killer before they strike again? Or is her reputation dead on arrival... Cozy mystery fans will love this delicious new series from author Alison Golden. No foul language, no sex, and no gore...Just quirky characters, Cajun food, and a puzzling mystery that will keep readers guessing! New Orleans Nightmare is the second book in the Roxy Reinhardt Cozy Mystery series.

This original anthology of noir fiction set across the Big Easy includes new stories by Ace Atkins, Laura Lippman, Maureen Tan, and more. New Orleans has always the home of the lovable rogue, the poison magnolia, the bent politico, and the heartless con artist. And in post-Katrina times, it’s the same old story—only with a new breed of carpetbagger thrown in. In other words, it’s fertile ground for noir fiction. This sparkling collection of tales, set both before and after the storm, explores the city’s gutted neighborhoods, its outwardly gleaming “sliver by the river,” its still-raunchy French Quarter, and other hoods so far from the Quarter they might as well be on another continent. It also looks back into the city’s darkly colorful, nineteenth century past. New Orleans Noir includes brand-new stories by Ace Atkins, Laura Lippman, Patty Friedmann, Barbara Hambly, Tim McLoughlin, Olympia Vernon, David Fulmer, Jervey Tervalon, James Nolan, Kalamu ya Salaam, Maureen Tan, Thomas Adcock, Jeri Cain Rossi, Christine Wiltz, Greg Herren, Julie Smith, Eric Overmyer, and Ted O’Brien. A portion of the profits from New Orleans Noir will be donated to Katrina KARES, a hurricane relief program sponsored by the New Orleans Institute that awards grants to writers affected by the hurricane.

Killers aren’t born, they’re made. And she’s out to meet her maker. ★★★★★ “Wow! This book is smokin' hot--like a runaway train.” John Mariotti Seventeen years ago, a savage murder thrust Tess Williams into a life of suffering and brutality. But where such hardship would’ve broken most, Tess turned her rage into an unquenchable hunger for justice. Today, she finally gets a lead on that killer only to learn that he is now a feared crime boss, surrounded by vicious mobsters, hired thugs, and ruthless assassins. If Tess is to reach him, she must go through all of them. Outnumbered and outgunned, Tess knows this will probably be the job that puts her in the ground, but she doesn’t care as long as she nails her target first. But just when she thinks things can’t get any worse, the killer discovers she’s tracking him – the hunter becomes the hunted. Tess has no choice but to break all the rules that have kept her alive for so long. Dodging bullets, battling betrayals, and facing overwhelming odds, she storms into a supercharged showdown with the killer. Today, Tess’s violent story will come to an electrifying end. But whose end will it be? ★★★★★ “This was a roller coaster of a read… I Could Not Put it Down” Hillel Kaminsky ★★★★★ “Wow! An explosive installment… A great read with real insight and wisdom from a strong and very likeable protagonist” Julie Elizabeth Powell ★★★★★ “Talk about a nail-biting ending! Whew, I was exhausted by the time I had raced through this one.” Jan Simmons ★★★★★ “A breath-taking thrill ride. Don't start this one until you have time to read it through to the end because you won't want to put it down.” Mouse ★★★★★ “Steve Lee has created the perfect storm: action - strong characters - and well developed storylines.

Strategically situated at the gateway to the Mississippi River yet standing atop a former swamp, New Orleans was from the first what geographer Peirce Lewis called an "impossible but inevitable city." How New Orleans came to be, taking shape between the mutual and often contradictory forces of nature and urban development, is the subject of An Unnatural Metropolis. Craig E. Colten traces engineered modifications to New Orleans's natural environment from 1800 to 2000 and demonstrates that, though all cities must contend with their physical settings, New Orleans may be the city most dependent on human-induced transformations of its precarious site. In a new preface, Colten shows how Hurricane Katrina exemplifies the inability of human artifice to exclude nature from cities and he urges city planners to keep the environment in mind as they contemplate New Orleans's future. Urban geographers frequently have portrayed cities as the antithesis of nature, but in An Unnatural Metropolis, Colten introduces a critical environmental perspective to the history of urban areas. His amply illustrated work offers an in-depth look at a city and society uniquely shaped by the natural forces it has sought to harness.

At 5:02 A.M. on August 29, 2005, Power Went Out in the Superdome. Not long after, wind ripped giant white rubber sheets off the roof and sent huge shards of debris flying toward Uptown. Rivulets of rainwater began finding their way down through the ceiling, dripping and pouring into the stands, the mezzanine, and the football field. Without ventilation, the air began to get gamy with the smell of sweat and garbage. The bathrooms stopped working. Many people slept; others waited, mostly in silence.
