The Breathtaking Christa P: A Novel of Crime

Everyone you meet here is exactly who they pretend they are…. Welcome to New Orleans in 1995, a great town for an escaped lunatic with a knack for saying whatever you need to hear. No one spots the holes in his alibi as he creeps through the clip joints and posh restaurants, meeting addicts and crooked cops, grifters and bitter drunks. None of them suspects what kind of danger they’re in until it is too late. Just by chance, the only one back home who knows where to find him-the one person who can have him locked up with a single phone call-needs him to spy on a gold-digging French Quarter stripper. That’s not a job he can refuse. This second book in the author’s accidental 1990’s trilogy doesn’t involve any characters from Stay Out Of New Orleans (The NOLA centric underground cult classic), which is lucky for them. It’s the same city, though: sweet, deadly, and irresistable. A nightmare you don’t want to end. Previously self-published as was the Stay Out of New Orleans title, CCB will be redesigning and publishing all of P. Curran’s New Orleans novels of the 1990’s.
