Gumbo of Murder....It's a city as friendly as a glad-handing attorney, where the bending Mississippi carves a channel six hundred feet deep, the air smells of chicory, and shell casings litter sidewalks beneath the live oak trees. And somewhere between the levee and Lake Pontchartrain are the secret

β¦ Synopsis
Moskowitz Memorial Laboratory janitor Cletus Busters is caught red-handed in a restricted area with the frozen head of Dr. Whitney Valentine, one of the lab's most prestigious researchers. Busters won't say much, except that he's innocent. Given his conspicuous record and past as a voodoo guru, all signs point to life in prison. And with the trial less than a week away, his lawyer has made exactly two motions--heading to the bar for several rounds of Wild Turkey and begging Tubby Dubonnet for help. Meanwhile, Tubby's taken on a new client - a female boxer with an abusive boyfriend - and referees the romantic entanglements of his ex-wife and three teenage daughters. But as Busters' trial proceeds, and the jury savors the startling evidence (alongside Dunbar's succulent descriptions of Crescent City cuisine), the danger mounts. Revealing the murderer could prove to be Tubby's biggest triumph οΏ½ or his last case, ever.
