BLOOD WARNING The True Story of the New Orleans Slasher.

Hardback. The author's 3rd riveting tale of real-life drama, drawn from his personal experiences in the New Orleans Police Department. This is the story of a vicious murderer, tracked down by John Dillmann, who was the youngest policeman ever to make homicide detective in New Orleans, which in the fall of 1980 was the staging ground for an extraordinarily brutal killing spree. On the day before Thanksgiving, Detective Dillmann was summoned to the scene of a homicide in the famous French Quarter. What he found was not just a murder, but a cold-blooded slaughter. With no sign of forced entry and 2 half-finished drinks on the kitchen table, it was clear the victim knew his killer. Two days later another man was butchered, this time in New Orlean's most exclusive hotel. Hardback. Again the killer left no trace, as before, just 2 half-finished drinks. And so the search began through the Crescent city's most squalid and dangerous districts, hoping to trap a depraved psychopath before he struck again. 255pp. 8vo. h/back. F. in Vg. dw.
