HAMMOND – Southeastern Louisiana University police detective O'Neil De Noux has written the
sixth novel in his police series.
Titled "New Orleans Homicide," the novel features a reappearance of De Noux's
character Dino LaStanza, a detective with the New Orleans Police Department. In the
story, LaStanza teams up with other over-worked detectives as they work a particularly
violent weekend in the Crescent City, where an elderly man is killed on Good Friday
night, a young woman is murdered Saturday evening and a middle-aged woman is killed
in her Audubon Park home on Easter Sunday.
De Noux includes another previous character, patrolman John Raven Beau who joins
the team in a relentless pursuit of the murderers.
Published by Big Kiss Productions, "New Orleans Homicide" is the latest in De
Noux's acclaimed series that began with the 1988 publication of "Grim Reaper" and
was followed by "The Big Kiss," "Blue Orleans," "Crescent City Kills" and "The Big
Show." The entire backlist has been re-issued in new trade paperback editions and
ebooks.
An investigator with Southeastern's police department since 2006, De Noux has
served with the sheriff's offices in Jefferson and St. Bernard parishes. He has also
worked as a private investigator, criminal intelligence analyst and creative writing
instructor. He is a resident of Covington.
