"Beautifully written...[New Orleans] has been the setting for a couple of outstanding crime novels, including James Lee Burke's "The Tin Roof Blowdown" and Sara Gran's quirky "Claire DeWitt and the City of the Dead". Loehfelm's "The Devil in Her Way" measures up to that standard and then some."--Bruce DeSilva, Associated Press

"Bill Loehfelm's razor-sharp "The Devil in Her Way" is everything you want a crime novel to be: morally twisty, richly textured, and filled with soul.

""The Devil in Her Way" is not only Bill Loehfelm's best book yet--it may just be the best mystery novel to come out of post-Katrina New Orleans since James Lee Burke's "The Tin Roof Blowdown."

Reseña del editor:

Maureen Coughlin's life has changed in more ways than one. She is starting over in New Orleans as a newly minted member of the police force, but her transition from cocktail waitress to cop hasn't gone as smoothly as she'd hoped. To her commanding officer's amusement, Maureen kicks off her final week of field training by taking a punch to the face as a panicked suspect flees an apartment building, leaving behind several guns and a stash of pot. But out on the street, on the fringes of the action, Maureen sees something transpire that leaves her shaken, and she's sure there's more to this story than meets the eye.

As Maureen embarks on a dangerous hunt for answers, Bill Loehfelm guides us around the Crescent City's hidden corners and into its darkest outposts. The result is The Devil in Her Way: a propulsive thriller as electrifying as the city itself.
