JOHN RAVEN BEAU named 2011 POLICE BOOK OF THE YEAR by Police-Writers.com

This novel is a realistic, character-driven police novel.

Before Katrina - New Orleans is the murder capital of America and her troubled streets give rise to a cop who hunts killers with methodical, calculating precision, innate in a man half-Cajun and half-Sioux. While others lose their heads in the maddening hunt for a cop-killer who ambushes police officers, John Raven Beau focuses his instincts in the relentless pursuit of a murderer.

Coming to the big city, New Orleans - the Paris of French Louisiana - John Raven Beau finds a houseboat on Lake Pontchartrain and a vocation with the NOPD. He makes good friends and does good work, yet his penchant for shooting people, people who give him no other choice, has made him stand out. He is a killer, blindly admired by rookies, avoided by veterans who have been on the job long enough to know a police officer who kills, especially who kills more than once, is an aberration.

Homicide Detective John Raven Beau is a relentless pursuer, a man who will track killers across miles of dark streets, through swamps, wastelands, over rivers and bayous. He will never give up. And he's an excellent marksman who also carries an obsidian hunting knife. Claims that he's scalped a few murderers is a persistent rumor.

Beau is a man conflicted. Half-Cajun - he believes life should be enjoyed, believes life should be approached with a sense of humor. Let the good times roll. Half-Sioux - he is bedeviled by the past in which his people fought other tribes for centuries to be eventually defeated my the mighty US Army. Lakota, the true name of his tribe, John Raven Beau is descended from the Oglala clan of Crazy Horse and Little Hawk ,whose blood flows through Beau's veins. Like Crazy Horse, Beau is known for his prowess, determination, reckless courage, a man skilled at close combat.

John Raven Beau must be fearless, must be cunning, ruthless on occasion, but remembers he is part of the good earth. In the midst of this horrendous case, Beau, a loner, meets an alluring, young woman with aquamarine eyes and a mind as sharp as his, a woman who draws him to her.

This story begins in the French Quarter and ends in a swamp, all within the city limits of America's eternal city, a city that cannot be destroyed - New Orleans.
