Working in the New Orleans Coroner's Office, Hannah Baker has mastered the art of slicing into the secrets of the deceased.

This quintessentially New Orleans narrative serves up a spicy gumbo of mob connections, shadowy figures from the past, persistent annoyances from the present, murders, attempted assassinations, and a charming detective, Logan Ferris, who appears to disregard the term "off limits."

 

Navigating her brother's partner, Detective Logan Ferris, might be trickier than dissecting the city's past. But he's about to prove that in New Orleans, the boundaries are as blurry as the line between the living and the dead.

Excerpt

 

An exhumation didn’t make a lot of bucket lists. Not that Hannah Baker dared write her bucket list down. Life with many siblings had taught her not to leave a paper trail if she could help it.

 

And she wasn’t sure she wanted a bucket list. It didn’t seem like a good idea to have a list of things to do before she died when she worked in one of the “dead spaces” of New Orleans—the Coroner’s Center—as a forensic surgeon.

The smell in the alley was not subtle, but it was sadly familiar. At least it was cooler this time of year, so the smell wasn’t getting amped up by the heat. Even if it had been chilled, Laura Baker would be taking whatever she was kneeling in home with her. Garbage, urine, and of course, blood. Lots of blood.

Audrey Goodheart gave a relieved sigh as she exited the casino. The humidity was down and so were temperatures, giving the air a silken feel against her skin. It was a relief to be out of the controlled and frigid air conditioning.

 

She loved this time of year in New Orleans. Autumn wasn’t typical, at least not schoolbook typical. But the end-of-summer scents were lush and almost seemed to amp up the always-present spices drifting in the air from the various restaurants dotted along St. Charles.
