What they're saying about it:
"BARONNE STREET is a stunning debut. Indeed, Westmoreland writes with the confidence and polish of someone well into their career, not a first time author. The New Orleans setting and compelling lead in Burleigh are ripe for further adventures, and I for one certainly hope to see Burleigh Drummond blossom into a long-lived series. "--Elizabeth White in the Savannah Morning News
"BARONNE STREET by Kent Westmoreland is a fast-past, action packed thriller that takes the reader deep into New Orleans. Not only does Westmoreland give the reader and intimate feel for life in New Orleans he also creates extraordinary characters, vivid and eclectic enough to entertain any reader."--Jennifer Higgins at Rundpinne Book Reviews
The new entry into the New Orleans mystery scene is so damn cool. Burleigh Drummond is unique, a man women love and men don't mind hanging with. O'Neil De Noux
