Publisher's Summary

The Tin Roof Blowdown begins with the shooting of two would-be looters in New Orleans during Hurricane Katrina, and then follows a motley group of characters - from street thugs to a big-time mob boss, from a junkie priest to a sadistic psychopath.

As their stories converge on a cache of stolen diamonds, the storm turns the Big Easy into a lawless wasteland of apocalyptic proportions,

Masterpiece

One of my favourite Robichaux stories. Every character well drawn and real. The destruction of New Orleans, the devestation the hurricanes caused and the social impact after was heart breaking to listen to. To top it off the narration was perfect.
