Summary:
"As much a classic detective story as it is a literary masterpiece, The Long-Legged Fly introduces us to
Lew
Griffin
: tough, smart, and living in a corner of society where life is fought for as much as it is lived. In steamy New Orleans, black private detective
Lew
Griffin
has taken on a seemingly hopeless missing-person case. The trail takes him through the underbelly of the French Quarter with its bar girls, pimps, and tourist attractions. As his search leads to one violent dead end and then another,
Griffin
is confronted by the realization that his own life has come to resemble those of the people he is attempting to find."--penguinrandomhouse.com.
