The Last Mardi Gras: A Code Crackers Thriller

Serving up surprise and suspense for his readers, who he thinks of as nieces and nephews, mystery author Bill Black combines a steady diet of pulse-pounding thrills with a lagniappe of humanity and soul.

Just as Drosselmeyer (the godfather character in the Nutcracker) delivers the magic toy that becomes the key to new worlds for his audience, so does Black pull up the driveway with a wizened grin and a treasure trove of pulse-pounding tales.
