POSTCARD FROM HELL by Rex Dancer
POSTCARD FROM HELL by Rex Dancer
First sentence…
It was the slowest, deadest part of the night, when time itself was barely moving, and Andre Derain was wide awake – again.
The Overview: Beware of Spoilers…
Andy Derain was once a famous New York City fashion photographer. Fame is fleeting. And so was Andy. He fled to New Orleans.
Now Andy is getting by with whatever photo gigs he can get. Even if it means selling pics from time to time to a sleazy tabloid. When Andy gets called to a potential crime scene, he takes photos. Turns out the dead man is Crayfish Joe Coquin’s son. Crayfish Joe is much more dangerous than his name implies. It’s a risk, but Andy needs the money. He sells the pics to the sleaze rag.
About the same time that Andy learns the gangster is looking for him, Andy gets a postcard from Astrid Montebello. Astrid was a model Andy worked with and cared for. Astrid is in the Caymen Islands. She may be in trouble. When Andy gives her a call, there is no answer.
With Crayfish Joe and his goons closing in, Andy decides a trip to the Caymen Islands is just what the doctor ordered. He will hang with Astrid until Crayfish cools down.
Only problem is, Astrid is nowhere to be found. And Andy now has the attention of drug dealers and the F.B.I. Andy is in way over his head.
And Crayfish Joe is waiting in New Orleans if Andy survives.
