Bourbon Street Blues

Publisher: Kensington Books
Author: Greg Herren

Review

Welcome to the French Quarter in New Orleans, home of fried fish, frech coffee and hot muscle boys. Welcome to New Orleans, Scotty Bradley style. The first in a series of mystery novels from Greg Herrren, author of Murder on the Rue Dauphine, native boy Scoty knows how to bend his hometown's every rule. it doesn't hurt that he's buff, boyish and completely irresistable. By day he's a personal trainer and at night he dances on the bar for rent money. He lives upstairs from a coddling lesbian couple and he's real close with his stoner parents, Uptown sister and scheming lawyer brother. With Southern Decadence coming to town (the big circuit party) he's looking for Mr. right now and plenty of dancing and cruising. The last thing he wants is trouble, but that's just what discovers when one of his clients is found shot dead at his front door. Then his long lost friend Jeremy shows up at the bar begging him to take care of a computer and acting real odd. Bourbon Street Blues takes readers on a dizzying tour of gay life in the quarter and introduces an unlikely PI, whose lusty, ironic take on thing is as cool as the city he loves.
