DESCRIPTION:
During Hurricane Katrina, Dr. A little town with big-city problems, Baton Rouge means "Red Stick"-and lives up to its bloody name. As chief coroner of Baton Rouge, tending to the dead is Cataldie's job. Louis Cataldie remained in New Orleans in dangerous and often unbearable conditions to attend to the sick, the injured-and the dead. Cataldie has faced unusual and disturbing cases, from tracking three serial killers on the loose simultaneously while working the scene of a Malvo/ Muhammad Beltway Sniper shooting, to helping apprehend Baton Rouge serial killer Derrick Todd Lee in a controversial case that was featured in an ABC Primetime Live special with Diane Sawyer and Patricia Cornwell. Cataldie's maverick ways have made him a favorite target of the media, but he offers no apologies, and speaks for those who cannot speak for themselves. Graphic and frank, this is his unique, up-close look at his life spent stalking death in the Deep South.
Pretty good I enjoyed this. Not something I usually read but it was recommended because of Patricia Cornwell. Some parts are heartbreaking though.. Dana Ledet-Hurd said Louisiana's Dead. Great book! I can feel the passion he has for what he does, through his words. I definitely recommend this book!. Gripping Insight K. Edgin This was an excellent forensic case book. Not only do you get excellent cases but you also get the author's down to earth personality, concern for life and true emotions. If you enjoy forensic novels and case books - This is a definite must read!!
