WANTED: HOTSHOT P.I. WITH NEAR SUPER-HUMAN SKILLS.<\/p>\n

Confirmed grump Eddie Valentino placed the ad. Hotshot twenty-something Talba Wallis knew exactly how to answer it.<\/p>\n

And thus was born the dynamic duo of New Orleans private detectives, one cynical, sixty-five-year-old Luddite white dude with street smarts, and one young, bright-eyed, Twenty-First century African-American female poet, performance artist, mistress of disguise, and computer jock extraordinaire. Think Queen Latifah and Danny DeVito.<\/p>\n

In Louisiana Hotshot<\/i>, their job is to hunt down a sociopath and pedophile who\u2019s molested the fourteen-year-old daughter of their client, hangs out on the ragged edges of the rap and recording industries, and has more powerful allies than a Cabinet member.<\/p>\n

But both detectives have unfinished business from the past\u2014in Eddie\u2019s case, something he deeply regrets; in Talba\u2019s, a personal mystery, one so frightening no one will help her investigate.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The most remarkable double agent of World War II, Eddie Chapman was witty, handsome, and charming. Too bad he was also a con man, womanizer, and safe-cracker. To the British, though, he was known as ZigZag, one of MI5\u2019s most valuable agents. To the Abwehr\u0097German military intelligence\u0097he was known as Fritzchen (Little Fritz), and was believed to be one of their most valued and trusted spies. For three long years, Eddie played this dangerous double game, daily risking life and limb to help the Allies win the war.<\/p>\n

He was so charming that his German handler, Baron Stefan von Gr\u00f6ning, thought of Fritzchen as the son he never had. The Germans even awarded him the Iron Cross for spying for the Reich! They sent him to Britain, with the mission to blow up the De Havilland aircraft factory. How he and MI5 convinced the Germans that he had accomplished his mission stands as one of history\u2019s greatest acts of counterintelligence.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
