Killer with a Badge

New Orleans in the 1990s-dirty, corrupt, violent. Often called "the city that care forgot," scandal-plagued New Orleans was already reeling when Antoinette Frank joined the city's beleaguered police force. Soon, she would commit a crime so shocking, so bloody, and so awful, that even the most hardened New Orleanians could not believe it.

Originally published by Penguin/​Berkley True Crime. Now in a second edition as a Kindle ebook and in trade paperback.

"Cover to cover, this is simply the best true crime book I've read."
--Author and retired detective Mike Varnado

"This is as gritty and in your face as can be like pouring over a real-life crime scene."
--TheBestReviews.com
