Synopsis

This collection of action-packed adventures follows the shrewd and clever detective work of a cabbie, a teen, a computer whiz, a keen-eyed orange tabby, and a multilingual African Grey parrot.

John Bertucci's French Quarter Connection is a collection of interwoven episodic mysteries across the city that blend cozy mystery elements with procedural elements, animal sidekicks, and Southern charm.

In the heart of the French Quarter, a former New Orleans Police Department detective works as a cab driver by day and crime hunter at night. Michael O'Malley runs an unconventional detective team with Hercules, a clever orange tabby cat with a high-tech collar, and Squealer, a surveillance-savvy, multilingual African Grey parrot. Before long, Marie, a teenage sleuth with sharp instincts, and Marcus Chen, a cybersecurity expert, join the group.

As the motley crew-who come to call themselves The French Quarter Connection-solves complex cases across New Orleans, they encounter colorful characters while solving art heists, busting up terrorist plots, and unraveling historical mysteries. Their cases blend modern crime with the city's rich history and traditions, creating a vibrant narrative that winds through the French Quarter's cobblestone streets to riverboat decks and plantation grounds. The infamous crew soon becomes legendary among both law enforcement and criminals in the Big Easy.

Through every daring turn, stomach-sinking revelation, and heart-pounding chase, the French Quarter Connection uses their distinctive combination of high-tech gadgetry and street-smart intuition to protect their beloved city.
