Unflappable in the Toughest Situations

Terry Manion gets out of Evangeline Spa after twenty-two days of alcohol and drug rehabilitation. He learns that his old mentor, J.J. Legendre, is dead. Nadia Wells asks Manion to help her investigate the case to see if Legendre was murdered. Nadia is a former madam whose detective agency used to employ both Manion and Legendre.Manion is a bookish guy who is as vulnerable as anybody emerging from alcohol and drug treatment. He is oddly unflappable in the toughest situations. BLUE BAYOU is better than most entries in the field of detective fiction.
