DETECTIVE BLUES
A Modern Noir Thriller by C. Lowry
The Past Never Stays Buried... Not in New Orleans.
Former NOPD detective Jack Dolan isn't the hero you call when things go right.
He's the guy people find when the truth is rotting beneath the floorboards - and everyone else is too scared to lift them.
These days, Jack is barely holding his life together. A failing PI business. An ex-mother-in-law as his office manager. A Crown Vic that coughs like it has tuberculosis. And insomnia so bad it should qualify as a second job.
But all of that becomes background noise the moment Rafael Mendes walks out of Angola Penitentiary - a man Jack once helped put away, and the one case that never stopped clawing at his conscience.
Jack wasn't hired to meet him at the gate.
He shows up anyway.
Because something about the old case never added up... and now the math is changing fast.
A Web of Secrets. A Brewing Storm. A City That Never Forgives.
When Jack starts digging, he uncovers:
✔ Federal agents pulling old files before Mendes is even released
✔ A mysterious salvage vessel pre-positioned off the Gulf Coast
✔ A private collector with deep pockets and darker motives
✔ A cartel with a ticking clock and too much to lose
✔ A conspiracy buried in four hundred years of history - and ready to resurface violently
Piece by piece, Jack realizes he stepped into a game that's already in motion. Every faction wants something from the past... and every one of them is willing to kill for it.
Mendes has his own agenda - quiet, methodical, and unstoppable. And the moment Jack warns him about the federal activity surrounding their old case, the clock starts ticking for both of them.
