Shelter from the Storm

Time spent with Tubby Dubonnet is always a treat, proclaimed the New Orleans Times-Picayune of Dunbar's Trick Question. In Shelter from the Storm Tubby returns in is most perilous caper yet. When big-time criminal Willie LaRue flies into town for a Mardi Gras heist at New Orleans's First Alluvial Bank, LaRue figures he and his gang will be lost amid Carnival festivities. But a mass of black clouds threatens to wash out Carnival as well as the crime. Hemmed in by Mother Nature, revelers and robbers alike run for cover. While the thieves plan thier escape, Tubby attempts to thwart their murderous intentions. As the body count rises, Tubby finds himself fighting for his life - and for the very soul of his beloved city. "Dunbar revels in the rafish charm and humor of his fabulously rambunctious city," praised the New York Times Book Review. In Shelter from the Storm, Dunbar delivers a wry, compelling tale of The CIty that Care Forgot.
