A Connecticut Yankee in Criminal Court: The Mark Twain Mysteries #2

A beautiful city with ugly traditions of corruption and racism. A black man set to hang for a murder he didn&apos;t commit. A world-famous author – and detective – who isn&apos;t about to let it happen… <P> "An enjoyable tour of 1890s New Orleans… Twain can take a bow for his perfomance. Heck takes a colorful city (New Orleans) an a colorful character (Mark Twain), adds a murder, a duel, some voodoo and period detail and conjures up an entertaining sequel to Death on the Mississippi." – Publishers Weekly <P> "A period charmer…" – Alfred Hitchcock&apos;s Mystery Magazine <P> "This Crescent City mystery simmers." – Booklist <P> "The second of Heck&apos;s Mark Twain detective novels is a charming winner." – Ed&apos;s Internet Book Review <P> "Exciting." – Book Alert
