A New Orleans police detective by day and celebrity food truck chef by night, Caleb Rooney has a new title -- Louisiana's Most Wanted -- in this shocking thriller from the world's #1 bestselling author.
In the Carnival days leading up Mardi Gras, Detective Caleb Rooney comes under investigation for a murder he is accused of committing in the line of duty -- as a Major Crimes detective for the New Orleans Police Department. Has his sideline at the Killer Chef food truck given him a taste for murder?
While fighting the charges against him, Rooney makes a pair of unthinkable discoveries: His beloved city is under threat of attack . . . and these would-be terrorists may be local.
As crowds of revelers gather, Rooney follows a fearsome trail of clues, racing from outlying districts into city center. He has no idea what -- or whom -- he'll face in defense of his beloved hometown, only that innocent lives are at stake.

1By SanibelchefWhat a complete waste of money. This was a ridiculous cliche of a book. My eyes were stuck in a perpetual upward roll. So very disappointing.The Chef

1By jjjbbbbHalf way through and I’ve closed it for the last time. Lame characters, unbelievable plot, action, story. Waste of eye and brain.The Chef
1By HalsterxLame, convoluted plot. Shallow characters. Surprised Patterson put his name on this book. Rated it 1/5 stars so there would be no confusion that I submitted a rating.Not a great read...
2By Jmo625Not up to the standard of his previous books. There was lots of jumping around and it made me not like the main character. Not a great effort.Not worth 5 minutes
1By Chekpedsbad writing and unimaginative plotGood
3By parkzy50Took a long time to develop as I was taken on a tour of nworlins to set up the sequel Ex cop chef smarter than the police/feds Ok but tied together nicely at the end
