The Brothers Shaughnessy: Book One of Shaughnessy Duology

The last thing Gilded-Age New Orleans needed, stumbling forth from the Civil War and now controlled by a corrupt political machine, was a butchering monster (or monsters?) stalking her midnight streets...but that's exactly what she got. And now who's to save her? Who dares step forward to track down whoever or whatever it is on a killing rampage, even as they do battle with a machine determined to stop them? When, from seemingly nowhere, two detective brothers, unknown to the public, hated by the machine, proceed to do just that. But what the brothers don't know is that what awaits them is far more than evil monsters or corrupt machines, but a world in which everything they believe in is now in question. And everything they love faces untold dangers even they may be unable to stop. The Gangs of New York meet Crescent City cops in The Brothers Shaughnessy: Book One of The Shaughnessy Duology.
