Product Description

Review

"No one writes about New Orleans, its steamy charms and its seamy sins, as well as Ms. Smith. She catches the tricky nuances of Louisiana speech as well as the sights, smells, and sounds of the Delta City".

-- Dallas Morning News



Synopsis

Skip Langdon, a New Orleans police detective, encounters death in her own hometown when the local police superintendent is gunned down and then the murderer is killed by a group who goes by the name of "the Jury".

4.0 out of 5 stars Another spiffy adventure, 26 Jun 1999
By A Customer
While maybe not one of the greatest of the Skip Langdon novels, Crescent City Kill delivered all the excitement I've come to expect from Smith. However, I'm getting a bit tired of the Jacomine business, and I'd like to move on. It may be an easy way to come up with new novels, but I think some different plot lines might be good every other book or so. Still, while it isn't the earlier Skip Langdon novels, it's worth reading.

5.0 out of 5 stars A deliciously evil villain takes on Skip for Round?Great!, 9 Jul 1997
By A Customer
This review is from: Crescent City Kill: A Skip Langdon Novel (Hardcover)
There is a national movement called The Jury that has arrived out of nowhere, hides behind a veil of secrecy, and is attracting the attention of many good people who are covertly cheering them on. Who is this group? Ostensibly, they are a group of citizens concerned that the justice system in America is letting too many guilty people go free. Rather than sit idly by, they intend to do something about it. Their first act of vigilante justice is to kill an OJ like sports figure who was found not guilty of murdering his wife. The public felt that the man bought his innocent verdict and that justice was finally served.

In New Orleans, a corrupt white police superintendent resigns and is replaced by an honest black man. The people have hope that the wide spread corruption will be swept away by the new top cop. Instead, the man is gunned down by a supremacist, who loathes the idea of a black running the police department. When the police, including Detective Skip Langdon, arrest the perp, The Jury assassinates him. Skip smells the evil odor of her old enemy, the psychopathic Errol Jacomine, as the mastermind behind The Jury. In a cat and mouse game where the stakes are Skip's life, the officer and the criminal must enter the other's head if they expect to win the fight.

CRESCENT CITY KILL is a classic good Vs evil battle with the villain being so alluring he obtains the support of good people. The intrepid heroine is forced to risk her soul in an epic war against the evil genius. This is an excellent novel in a superb series that fans will not want to miss.
