The Asylum

Rating:
Summary: Down in the Asylum
Review: John Edward Ames is an expert at using the New Orleans environment and the local Louisiana weather to add suspense to an already tense story. The "Asylum" takes off like a bullet out of the barrel of a saturday night special. And the character of Reno Sloan, a lawyer turned detective, fits the scenery like it was molded for him. The "Asylum" is a fine gumbo of hardboiled horror. I recommend it as a fast read.
