New Orleans, LA Author Publishes New Book

Death on the Bank of Two Rivers, a new book by Jean M. Low, has been released by RoseDog Books.

Death on the Bank of Two Rivers is a mystery novel about a cluster of murders occurring in New Orleans, close to the Mississippi River. The murders appear to be copies of a series of terrorist murders that happened along the Zambezi River in Rhodesia 30 years ago. The setting of the book shifts between life in the fishing camps on the Zambezi River in the 1970s and present day life in New Orleans.

Though terrorism is not suspected in New Orleans, the location of the killings, the type of weapons used, the placements of the bodies, and the wounds inflicted on the victims in New Orleans are uncannily similar to the murders in Rhodesia.

Jennifer Evans, the main character, lived in Rhodesia during part of the period of terrorism and is now back home in New Orleans. She has recently gone through a divorce that ended fifteen years of a dull marriage and is now happily in love with a New Orleans police detective. She brings these similarities between the crimes to the attention of the New Orleans Police, and eventually the local new reporters hear about it. The news is mentioned in the paper, along with Jennifer's name, which results in some terrifying episodes in Jennifer's life. Ultimately, the events culminate in the unraveling of the mystery and the resolving of the murders.
