Hot New Orleans nights, hot jazz and hot lead all come together in Richard Helms' new Pat Gallegher mystery, VOODOO THAT YOU DO. When Gallegher's wise guy pal Hotshot Spano gets gunned down in cold blood right in front of him, Gallegher suddenly finds himself ass-deep in trouble with not only the New Orleans mob, but Vietnamese and Haitian gang members. The struggle for control of drugs, prostitutes and crime in general in New Orleans is heating up faster than a beignet dropped in hot oil. As if trying to find out why Hotshot Spano was offed wasn't enough, Gallegher also has to contend with keeping Vietnamese gang leader Jimmy Binh's young stepdaughter out of Binh's clutches. Stir some romance into the roux between Gallagher and Merlie Comineau, director of the local runaway shelter, and you have a rich, thick gumbo of a story that you can really sink your teeth into. This sequel to Helms' JOKER POKER is a worthy follow-up that takes the reader on a hot, fast journey from the gator infested Atchafalaya basin to the steamy back alleys of the French Quarter. Don't miss this book!!
