This is a very interesting book and it helped me to understand more about the rescue efforts involved in events like Hurricane Katrina and other catastrophes. I enjoy Tim Downs' books because I always learn new things.
Great read! Follows Nick to New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina
These books are great! I am a fan of Terri Blackstock, Brandilyn Collins, and other mystery fiction. Until July of last year, I had never heard of Tim Downs. I gave him a try and found his books very interesting. I have especially liked the Bug Man novels. I would say that some people might not like it since it talks about dead bodies & bugs, but I really enjoyed how "Nick" found out all the information he needed from the bugs he saw at the crime scene. Fascinating!!
Nick is called to New Orleans after hurricane Katrina hits as part of the DMORT team to recover bodies from the storm. Working with FEMA, DEA, & the National Guard the mantra of 1st the dead is changed to 1st the living. Not used to recovering people alive, Nick has a hard time dealing with survivors. Along the way, he comes across a dead body that forensically was killed before the hurricane hit & the storm is being used to cover up more murders. Being told not to investigate & leave the dead bodies, Nick still continues his quest to link the murders & is stopped at every avenue, shot at, & followed by DEA, NOPD, & his psychiatrist. Determined to get to the bottom things may prove to be deadly. Another great mystery and interesting forensic facts.
this takes place before and after Katrina and it was just draggy and boring and I finally just shut it and passing it along
