Synopsis: [Back cover] Walker Percy remarked, "In Captain Trapp New Orleans has found its Philip Marlowe, and he's just as good." Well, Rat Trapp, the black New Orleans homicide detective with a taste for pleasure and a passion for justice, is back. This time around he's summoned to Los Angeles by his old flame Camille Bynum, only to wind up witness to her shocking murder. Rat loves a good investigation, but this time it's personal, and he soon finds himself up to his neck in memories and a mystery with roots that go back to the Hollywood blacklisting era. "The white zone," a no-parking area of LAX airport, takes on a whole new meaning to a very black detective in a very white town, and Rat's acid commentary on Los Angeles mores is a delight to hear. A sort of darkside Beverly Hills Cop, The White Zone is an intriguing mystery that is sure to please old and new fans alike.
