Description - A Scent of Magnolias by Richard Geary
A SCENT OF MAGNOLIAS is the first of four novels comprising the New Orleans Rhapsody. The author has done for New Orleans what Durrell did for Alexandria and Proust for Paris. However, the setting is not the red clay South of Doris Betts or the mendacious, incestuous culture of an illiterate Faulkner. On the contrary, it is the exclusive Garden District of New Orleans, where beauty, manners and lovers are assumed. Within this rich mix, a Harvard trained lawyer turned investigative reporter and one of the Garden District's own uncovers explosive material that could topple the U.S. government and plunge the country into a constitutional crisis. When he and his black mistress are found brutally murdered in his mansion's bedroom, eyebrows are raised and Police Chief Poole asks retired detective Jimmy Croft to take the case. What Croft finds is darker than he had ever imagined.
