“Herren’s wit, ingenuity, and sharp social eye are a constant delight, and every time I read him I fall in love with New Orleans all over again. Scotty may have hung up his go-go boots, but I hope his adventures go on and on.”—Alex Marwood, Edgar and Macavity Award–winning author of The Wicked Girls and The Darkest Secret
“A delicious, witty, deftly plotted mystery. Greg Herren offers up a compulsively readable tale.”—Megan Abbott, Edgar-winning author of Queenpin and Dare Me
“[A] witty, engrossing slice of New Orleans life (and death)…delicious bits of gossip and hints of hushed-up scandal…wry observations about old money in the new New Orleans…a plot full of lively characters and satisfying twists.”—Lia Matera, author of the Willa Jansson and Laura Di Palma series

“Herren’s packed plot, as always in this imaginative series…revels in odd twists and comic turns; for example, the third man of the ménage returns, revealed as a James Bond type. It all makes for a roller-coaster caper.”—Richard Labonte, Book Marks
“This novel confirms that out of the many New Orleans mystery writers, Greg Herren is indeed one to watch.”— Reviewing the Evidence
“[T]his was well worth waiting for. Herren has a knack for developing colorful primary and supporting characters the reader actually cares about, and involving them in realistic, though extreme, situations that make his books riveting to the mystery purist. Bravo, and five gumbo-stained stars out of five.”—Echo Magazine
“Herren’s work is drenched in the essence of the Big Easy, the city’s geography even playing a large part in the solution of a riddle at whose end lies the aforementioned Eye of Kali. But unlike the city, it is not languid. Herren hits the ground running and only lets up for two extremely interesting dream sequences, the latter of which is truly chilling. Is this a breezy beach read? Maybe, but it has far more substance than many. You can spend a few sunny, sandy afternoons with this resting on your chest and still feel as if you’ve read a book. But even if you’re not at the beach, Herren’s work makes great backyard or rooftop reading, and this one is a terrific place to start.”—Out In Print
