"Hold on to your seat-Dick Hill's going to take you on a pirogue ride that will rock you with humor and intrigue. He doesn't miss a beat as he switches from Cajun patois to Southern accents, reels out the names of foods with piquant accents, and steers you through political chicanery."

"The plot's many wild turns and feel-good ending may remind readers of Carl Hiaasen's novels. Wells is a native of southern Louisiana, and his love of Cajun culture and its patois, food, and ties to the landscape shines throughout."
