World's End: A Novel of New Orleans James Conaway 2.º edición

Love, corruption, and retribution in New Orleans... ...before hurricane Katrina swept much of that world away. Nostalgically bittersweet and intricately plotted, this novel works on several levels ? as a family saga, a political thriller, and an historical noir. A compelling literary experience, and a complement to James Conaway?s classic novel The Big Easy. New York Daily News: ?If tight melodrama laced with sex, power grabs and corruption is your dish, you?ll devour World?s End with the relish of a hungry mule in a cornfield... a spellbinder.? The Miami Herald: ?There is a good deal more to World?s End than just politics. Conaway?s novel is at once a family chronicle, a thriller, and a brief history of Louisiana. It is filled with authentic detail and atmosphere, told with great skill.? New Orleans Times-Picayune: ?... fascinating and absorbing... one of those rare you-can?t-put-it-down books.?
