Holy Death (A Billy Lafitte Crime Novel)

<i>Billy Lafitte is back…</i> <br><br>Back from the brink of death. <br><br>Back on the Gulf Coast, his home stomping grounds, looking to reunite with his beloved one last time. <br><br>Back in the sights of DeVaughn Lagrenade, a former gangbanger whose brother was gunned down by Lafitte and his partner during the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. <br><br>Back in the mind of his biggest nemesis, Franklin Rome, who swings back into Lafitte’s orbit in a most unusual way. <br><br>Throw in a wild-eyed waitress looking for some violent kicks, an ambitious FBI agent slithering up the administrative ladder, a wannabe bad boy on Lafitte’s tail with a young psychopath in the passenger seat, and you’ve got the makings of a rumble that only a prayer to Santa Muerte might help Billy survive. <br><br>Cult crime-novelist Anthony Neil Smith is like a modern-day Charles Willeford. He doesn’t just step over “the line,” but drag-races past it and keeps on going. With this fourth novel in the Billy Lafitte’s series, Smith raises the stakes once again for his damaged ex-cop turned stone cold killer. You’ll root for Lafitte all the way, and wish you hadn’t, and hope to hell he survives so you can do it all again.
