Review"(The) ruthless mobsters, dirty cops, shades-of-gray hero ring with authenticity. A clever setup and neat, twisty plot, and you have a gritty, action-packed read." --Edgar Award winner Julie Smith"Hustmyre brings to life the dark underworld of The Big Easy reminiscent of Raymond Chandler’s Los Angeles. Detective fiction doesn’t get any better than this!" --Gary C. King, author of Rage and An Almost Perfect Murder"House of the Rising Sun is a great ride. Grab this book and head down to the wrong side of New Orleans. You won't regret it." --Criminal Profiler Pat Brown, author of The Profiler: My Life Hunting Serial Killers and Psychopaths"The hard-boiled tale, the disgraced ex-vice cop, the bloody, filthy underworld of the New Orleans French Quarter. This is classic gritty crime fiction." --Matthew Randazzo V, author of Mr. New Orleans: The Life of a Big Easy Underworld Legend"House of the Rising Sun is lean, mean, and nasty. Hustmyre's spare, hardboiled prose instantly grabs hold and takes you on a great ride. A book for those who like their thrillers grim and dirty." --Simon Read, author of War of Words: A True Tale of Newsprint and MurderProduct DescriptionRay Shane is an ex-New Orleans vice cop who just finished a five-year stretch in federal prison for corruption. Now he's back home in the Big Easy and looking to stay out of trouble. But trouble is exactly what he gets when four masked gunmen rob the House of the Rising Sun, the mob-owned illegal gambling hall and brothel where Shane is in charge of security. On their way out the door, the gunmen also blow away the mentally handicapped adult nephew of the New Orleans Mafia boss. Now Shane has to find the killers, but as he tracks them down one by one he relearns an old lesson—in New Orleans nothing is ever what it seems.
