The crystal skull murders : a Tony Boudreaux mystery

The premier hip-hop club in Austin, Texas, has been reduced to a pile of ashes. The body of a homeless wino is found nearby. The cops, looking for a quick wrap, call it arson and pin it on the dead wino. Getdown Joe Sillery, the club's owner, isn't buying it. He's been approached by buyers and thinks the fire may have been unsubtle pressure. He hires Blevins Investigations gumshoe Tony Boudreaux to flush out the real arsonist. Paired with a new operative, Doreen Patterson, who is to bad attitude what Kenyans are to distance running, Boudreaux works the streets and quickly deduces that the wino was murdered, and the arson may have been collateral damage in the search for a pawn ticket that is the key to a stolen crystal skull valued at five million dollars.

  • "After a few harrowing months of stumbling through catacombs beneath a New Orleans cemetery, evading alligators at Bayou Teche, and dodging a band of fanatics searching for a crystal skull and torching rap clubs, Tony Boudreaux figures he deserves a rest. So when a San Antonio client offers a ten thousand dollar retainer to find a priceless map hidden in his deceased father's den, Tony takes the job. He enjoys the ambience of the city and the exotic venue of the River Walk. To his dismay, the simple task of finding a hidden map explodes into a series of attempts on his life and two murders with over a half dozen suspects, all of whom stood to gain from the map rumored to have been ancient even in the time of Alexander the Great."
