Was the worst oil spill in US history an act of sabotage or an
accident?
Against the backdrop of this question, retired army captain Jax
"Bad" Badeaux has returned to his Cajun roots in New Orleans, a
broken man with broken dreams. With a violent streak that propels
him through a shattered and bleak existence, it isn't long before
he's working as a bouncer in a Bourbon Street strip joint for the
Cajun mob.
When Jax receives a cryptic message from a dead army buddy who
worked for the oil company hinting that the oil rig disaster was an
act of terrorism, he finds himself thrown into a deadly mix
involving NSA agents, the Cajun mafia, a Mexican drug cartel, and a
rogue spy network.
With a body count building in his wake, Jax must fight to find
the truth about the environmental disaster while dodging bullets,
deception, and changing alliances, all while trying to rediscover
his humanity in a city known for hard drinking, dirty money, and
easy sex.
Will Jax's tattered sense of loyalty and combat readiness be
enough to pull him through to the mystery's end, or will he lose
everything in the black oil flooding the Gulf of Mexico?

Nearing death, the always pragmatic Glenn Smith is a dysfunctional
baby boomer who believes the world is a sick place where love,
friendship, and God are phony ideas created by greeting card
companies, big business, and snake oil salesmen. But when his
perverted old neighbor is suddenly murdered, Glenn is unwittingly
propelled into the midst of the perplexing investigation. Glenn has
no idea that what he is about to uncover will not only change his
life, but also the history of America. Prompted to find out who
killed Bobbie Bourgeois by a vision of his deceased mother, Glenn
digs deep into the murder case and soon unveils the sinister
mission of a shadowy organization determined to stop at nothing to
defeat the country's enemies-even if it means trampling on the
United States Constitution, assassinating officials, or
overthrowing governments. Through the people he meets and the
relationships he develops, Glenn sets the stage for the creation of
a potential life-changing perspective. While in the midst of his
unforgettable end-of-life journey, Glenn attempts to solve a
challenging murder case-all while struggling to find his sanity
amid a dangerous world full of phonies and hypocrites.
