Johnny Murder, a dead man, shows up on the streets of New Orleans, terrorizing the eccentric members of the French Quarter Open Air Artists and Psychics 'Sociation. Has Johnny come back to life as a zombie? Po'Boy Boudreaux, sax-playing ex-constable of the 'Sociation, won't stop until he finds out, because Johnny killed his girlfriend back in the day. But then self-proclaimed pulp fiction hero Quinto Starbulk gets into the mix, turning the hunt for Johnny upside-down. Can Po'Boy track down a walking dead man on Bourbon Street in spite of Quinto's interference? Or will voodoo magic claim Po'Boy as its next victim? Either way, there'll be plenty of action and mystery in the French Quarter with Po'Boy on the case. Don't miss this exciting tale by award-winning storyteller Robert Jeschonek, a master of unique and unexpected crime fiction and mysteries that really pack a punch.

As I run through the French Quarter of New Orleans in the rain, chased by a dead man, I wonder where the hell my supposed long-lost half-brother the supposed pulp hero disappeared to with my gun.
Johnny Murder gains on me, of course, because I weigh almost three hundred pounds naked...which I am...and the next thing I know, I’m being tackled to the sidewalk by Mr. Dead Guy, who seems pretty alive to me.
I feel the barrel of his gun press against the back of my head, and I know I’m going to have to fight or die. I’ve got the bulk to throw this asshole off me...but can I do it before he plants a bullet in my brain?
“You figured it out,” says Johnny, breathing hard from his run. “Now here’s your reward, smart guy.”
I gather myself up to make one last move. I’ve got the body of a sumo; now’s the time to use it.
I’m not ready to be dead yet...though Johnny here didn’t let it keep him down. At least, that’s what Queen Elizabitch and most of the other members of the French Quarter Open Air Artists and Psychics Association thought when this whole mess started.
