PAT GALLEGHER’S BACK!Back in trouble, that is! After the back alley execution of his friend Hotshot Spano at the hands of a gang of teenaged Haitian thugs, slacker New Orleans jazz cornetist and occasional knight errant Pat Gallegher is recruited by Lucho Braga, the capo of the New Orleans mob, to help find the killers. Gallegher has his own problems, in the form of a ten year old girl he has found scrounging for food in the garbage behind the dive bar where he lives and works. The girl has a deadly secret. Her stepfather, Jimmy Binh, is a powerful boss of the Vietnamese gangs just across the Crescent City Bridge in Algiers, and she ran away after watching Binh kill a woman.Gallegher uncovers a startling connection between Binh and the murder of Hotshot Spano—a link that could spell all-out war in the French Quarter underworld.Expect cool jazz and hot action, as Gallegher has to protect Binh’s stepdaughter, find Spano’s killers, navigate a brewing romance with the director of a local runaway shelter, and somehow not become a victim of Jimmy Binh’s power-driven rampage!Richard Helms’ Pat Gallegher stories have won or been finalists for the PWA Shamus Award, ITW Thriller Award, SMFS Derringer Award, and MRI Macavity Award.
