A Long Time Dead

Description for A LONG TIME DEAD by Monroe Thompson:

Ex-husband, ex-army specialist, ex-everything, Matt Langley has come to New Orleans to lose his past.  He's not looking for trouble---just to make ends meet.  But when Matt takes a six-bucks-an-hour security guard job on the waterfront, trouble finds him the first night, leaving him with a bullet hole and a lot of nasty questions.

Before he knows what's happened, he's up to his ass in alligators, Smugglers, cops, the Feds, and a gang of Bourbon Street punks all want a piece of him.  And the most dangerous of all is a smooth-talking little gal who has nothing to lose and everything to hide....
