Johnny Murder, a dead man, shows up on the streets of New Orleans, terrorizing the eccentric members of the French Quarter Open Air Artists and Psychics 'Sociation. Has Johnny come back to life as a zombie? Po'Boy Boudreaux, sax-playing ex-constable of the 'Sociation, won't stop until he finds out, because Johnny killed his girlfriend back in the day. But then self-proclaimed pulp fiction hero Quinto Starbulk gets into the mix, turning the hunt for Johnny upside-down. Can Po'Boy track down a walking dead man on Bourbon Street in spite of Quinto's interference? Or will voodoo magic claim Po'Boy as its next victim? Either way, there'll be plenty of action and mystery in the French Quarter with Po'Boy on the case. Don't miss this exciting tale by award-winning storyteller Robert T. Jeschonek, a master of unique and unexpected crime fiction and mysteries that really pack a punch.
