About this ebook
When Franki Amato leaves her cheating ex and erratic job as a rookie cop in Austin, Texas, she hopes for a quieter existence at her best friend Veronica’s New Orleans PI firm, Private Chicks. But life in The Big Easy is anything but quiet. Or easy. Her furnished apartment resembles an old French brothel, and her aging ex-stripper landlady has some rather odd policies. Meanwhile, Franki is hired to investigate a series of bizarre murders in a creepy cemetery, a haunted steamboat, and a historic Italian grocery store, and her work puts her in contact with colorful local characters, like voodoo mambos, people who live as vampires, and eccentric jazz musicians, not to mention killers. While she’s on the case, her meddlesome Sicilian nonna tries to crack an ongoing mystery—how to get her married, and pronto—and she might just be Franki’s biggest nemesis.
