β¦ Synopsis
Review
"(The) ruthless mobsters, dirty cops, shades-of-gray hero ring with authenticity. A clever setup and neat, twisty plot, and you have a gritty, action-packed read." --Edgar Award winner Julie Smith
"Hustmyre brings to life the dark underworld of The Big Easy reminiscent of Raymond Chandlers Los Angeles. Detective fiction doesnt get any better than this!" --Gary C. King, author of *Rage *and *An Almost Perfect Murder*
"House of the Rising Sun is a great ride. Grab this book and head down to the wrong side of New Orleans. You won't regret it." --Criminal Profiler Pat Brown, author of *The Profiler: My Life Hunting Serial Killers and Psychopaths
*
"The hard-boiled tale, the disgraced ex-vice cop, the bloody, filthy underworld of the New Orleans French Quarter. This is classic gritty crime fiction." --Matthew Randazzo V, author of *Mr. New Orleans: The Life of a Big Easy Underworld Legend*
"*House of the Rising Sun* is lean, mean, and nasty. Hustmyre's spare, hardboiled prose instantly grabs hold and takes you on a great ride. A book for those who like their thrillers grim and dirty." --Simon Read, author of *War of Words: A True Tale of Newsprint and Murder*
