Up Jumped the Devil: A Crescent City New Orleans Mystery: Book 2 of 2: A Crescent City New Orleans Mystery - Paperback

by Martha Reed (Author)

As festive Mardi Gras Carnival season begins, graffiti vandals are targeting notable tombs in NOLA's historic St. Louis Cemetery No. 1. Jane Byrne, the cemetery's new Chief Security Officer and Gigi Pascoe, a transgender sleuth must identify the miscreants and halt the desecration. Together, they snare two homeless teens who share a horrifying tale of off-the-street kidnappings fueling an inhuman supply chain network.

After the suspicious deaths of several key witnesses, NOLA FBI's interest in the local kidnapping investigation withers. Overbooked NOPD detectives consider the missing NOLA homeless people a low priority item, and the Orleans Parish Coroner's Office is wary of burning sensitive political connections. Refusing to quit, Jane and Gigi tap into the riotous Mardi Gras energy to expose a murderous criminal conspiracy.
