Get away, old man

This is the ideal mid-90's New Orleans legal mystery. A bored Central Business District attorney takes up three quintessential deep south and separate cases, steeped in barge culture, drug dealers, and river polluters (pro bono of course), all the while keeping busy with a presumably mob-run casino development which subtly dumps cash into his pockets. And regular Crescent City cuisine mentions provide nice little respites from the messy action. --Carol at Amazon.com.
