This novel of violence and racial strife set in New Orleans is full
of social and physical contrasts. Comiski, a newspaper reporter,
descends into an underworld of corrupt policemen, narcotics dealers
and black militants in an attempt to unravel a mysterious
grave-robbing and find some meaning in his own life. Powerful and
compelling. (Originally published in hardcover by Houghton Mifflin)
St. Louis Post-Dispatch: "Grim, gripping, violent and practically
impossible to put down." Publisher's Weekly: "The scene is
unglamorous New Orleans - decay, dirt, garbage... smell, every kind
of filth, human and animal, in a brief, well-written novel of
hopeless degradations that has a unique impact." Library Journal:
"A short- fast-paced and absorbing novel... that probes deeply into
the texture of the contemporary South, and entertains from first
page to last."
