This book was released on 2014-03-01. The Big Easy available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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."

Download and read online ebook Creating the Big Easy write by Anthony J. Stanonis. This book was released on 2011-04-01. Creating the Big Easy available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Between the World Wars, New Orleans transformed its image from that of a corrupt and sullied port of call into that of a national tourist destination. Anthony J. Stanonis tells how boosters and politicians reinvented the city to build a modern mass tourism industry and, along the way, fundamentally changed the city's cultural, economic, racial, and gender structure. Stanonis looks at the importance of urban development, historic preservation, taxation strategies, and convention marketing to New Orleans' makeover and chronicles the city's efforts to domesticate its jazz scene, "democratize" Mardi Gras, and stereotype local blacks into docile, servile roles. He also looks at depictions of the city in literature and film and gauges the impact on New Orleans of white middle-class America's growing prosperity, mobility, leisure time, and tolerance of women in public spaces once considered off-limits. Visitors go to New Orleans with expectations rooted in the city's "past": to revel with Mardi Gras maskers, soak up the romance of the French Quarter, and indulge in rich cuisine and hot music. Such a past has a basis in history, says Stanonis, but it has been carefully excised from its gritty context and scrubbed clean for mass consumption.

Lemon Boy Phillips, of Paladin Security, provided protection and crowd management. The Lemon Boy tag was a childhood reference to his complexion and freckles. Then Lola Montclaire strolled back into his life. In New Orleans, bluesman Blind Billy Brown was planning a concert in the Ninth Ward, and he called Old School performers to come home, including Lola, her nephew MC TruLuv, and her security, Lemon Boy, but it wouldn't be N'awlins without controversy. Billy's concert was taking place at the same time as the famous New Orleans Jazz Revival. Secondly, the lead act at the revival was TruLuv's enemy, MC "OOO-WEE," a rapper whose music is only overshadowed by his drunken violence. Then MC OOO-WEE was found dead, and his girlfriend Alexis was found floating in the Mississippi. THAT WAS A MISTAKE, KILLING THEM ON LEMON BOY'S WATCH! Evidence pointed to someone from Blind Billy's concert. The police were eager to make an arrest. Lemon Boy had to make sure it's the right person. With the help of his staff, Terri, Bobby Sr. and Bobby Jr., he will solve the case of: Dying Hard in the Big Easy!
