Criminal Instinct Prequel to the True Blue Detective

by vito zuppardo

Overview

What a great series. The stories captured me on the first page, and then it got better with every page I turned.

 

From a beloved master of crime fiction, True Blue Detective features Mario DeLuca, the hard-boiled detective of the New Orleans French Quarter.

A detective with something to prove and desperate for justice. Mario DeLuca always wanted to be a cop and put bad guys behind bars. Can he bring law and order to the streets of New Orleans, or will his dream of bringing the city's worst thugs to justice cost him more than he ever dreamed?

 

This story is a prequel, taking place immediately before the events in the first book of the True Blue Detective series.

 

The series has action, drama, mystery, relationships, and crime and is a front-row seat from a New Orleans cop's perspective: cruising the streets, dealing with injustice, visiting local businesses, and interacting with the exciting people in this unique, historic city.
