New Orleans Confidential

Set in late 1940s New Orleans, this audiobook follows private investigator Lucien Caye as he navigates the gritty streets of the French Quarter, often taking on cases that reveal the city's darker side. Unlike typical 40s PIs, Caye is an independent, clever observer with a vulnerable streak, helping those in need—from lost pets to missing persons—while confronting the dangers lurking in the city's shadows. His work frequently involves uncovering harsh truths amid a backdrop of violence and hardship, with a tendency to assist women and children in distress.
