Summary :

Every story must have a beginning and the story of State Police Detective Cooter Holland began with what should have been a simple fugitive arrest. Nothing is ever simple with Detective Holland. Detective Holland lived a life of unintended consequences while working as an Intelligence operative tracking down terrorists. It taught him how to resolve the cases he is assigned differently than NOPD’s Chief of Detectives would prefer that he handle them. He has just been tasked with tracking down a fugitive murderer named Michael Ferris, but Detective Holland won’t bring the man to justice until he has decided what justice for the man’s crime actually is. Ferris’ running from the law has exposed his brother, a much less than ethical used-car dealer and his own fiancé, a tough-as-nails would-be burlesque dancer, to the wrath of the gang of illicit gun-dealers whose members he shot in what initially looked like self-defense, but which may be tied to something far larger. Detective Holland doesn’t have much time to find the fugitive and get some answers before more lives are endangered. There are going to be consequences whether he captures Michael Ferris or not, and only Detective Holland can handle the unintended ones.

My opinion :

A story set in New Orleans after hurricane Katrina, where we follow Detective Cooter Holland AKA "Cadillac" Holland, an Iraq War Vet back home, who is assigned to search for Michael Ferris, a fugitive on the run after a shooting and who was threatening the witnesses, but the deeper he gets into the case, the larger it gets with a lot of twists, leading our character to a different path.

I really liked the writing, the details are well described, the characters are good, I really liked how some of the memories of the detective in Baghdad were included and the impact of the hurricane on the town, on people's lives, I enjoyed the story a lot, it's a real page turner for me.

It's the first book of a serie and I'm pretty sure I'm gonna enjoy the rest of them as much as the first one !!!!

So I'll give this book a : 4.5/5 stars !!!!!!
