The SIXTH subtle and humorous adventure in the Tubby Dubonnet series.
WHEN THE D.A. HIMSELF SETS YOU UP, YOU KNOW YOU'RE GOING DOWN...
In Tony Dunbar's books, New Orleans is The Big Sleazy squared. No one is safe, especially from their elected officials. Even if they are an elected official.
It's a city of sin. And murder is only one of them.
So what if Judge Hughes shared a few special moments with Sultana Patel -- why is this a matter of public interest? "The stench from that courthouse fills the city," roars D.A. Marcus Dementhe. "Those hypocritical men and women who wear the robes are filthy with deception." And Dementhe has a zany plan to snare them.

Hughes, happily, has had the good sense to hire epicurean lawyer Tubby Dubonnet, whose laconic air is belied by his zeal to protect his clients. And what a web they're ensnared in! But no matter how dire things get, Dunbar never loses his sense of humor:

"I think he's going to shoot us once we're out in the Gulf," Tubby whispered to the girl.
"His aura is green," she agreed.

Half the fun of a Tubby Dubonnet book is watching his sly creator fit together a plethora of fascinating yet seemingly unrelated jigsaw pieces to form a picture you never saw coming. And the other half is hanging out with Tubby and his crew of eccentrics, sleazeballs, goofballs, and enticing, confusing babes in the Big Easy-to-Love.
