I agree with Victoria on Chasing the Devil's Tail. Very
well-written book. Strong characters, solid plotting. I
haven't heard the "stilted language" criticism, but my guess
is that one reader's "stilted" is another's "era
appropriate." The New Orleans depicted, though it may have
been, oh, slightly before my time, seems pretty accurate
judging by the decades I spent growing up there. As Victoria
mentioned, there are two sequels. The first is good, too,
but, being a sequel, not quite surprisingly so.
On another topic, somebody on this list is using a program
that leaves very long strings of garbage code after the
message. No big woof scrawling through it, but it would be
nice not to have to.
