O'Neil De Noux's Big Easy Favourites

And Other Louisiana Eyes

Author and Thrilling Detective Web Site contributor O'Neil De Noux is a former real-life police officer and private investigator. He currently writes the NOPD Detective Dino La Stanza police procedural series, and has written several stories about 1948 New Orleans private eye Lucien Caye.

• Wesley Farrell by Robert Skinner
• Lew Griffin by James Sallis
• Neal Rafferty by Chris Wiltz
• Daniel Profit and Sheen Vicedomini by James Colbert
• Reno Sloan by John Edward Ames

Since O'Neil contributed that list, way back in 1999, there's been a slew of gumshoes who claim Louisiana as their home turf that I feel obliged (and O'Neil was too humble) to mention:

• Johnny Bordelon by George Ogan (New Orleans)
• Scotty Bradley by Greg Herren (New Orleans)
• Lucien Caye by O'Neil De Noux (New Orleans)
• Burleigh Drummond by Kent Westmoreland (New Orleans)
• Pat Gallagher by Richard Helms (New Orleans)
• John LeGrand by Jude Roy (Ellisonville)
• Chanse MacLeod by Greg Herren (New Orleans)
• Dave Robicheaux by James Lee Burke (New Iberia)
• Jerry "Renegade"Roe by L.V. Roper (New Orleans)
• Danielle Ross by Gilbert Morris (New Orleans)
• Jake Rubidoux by Lee Hutson (New Orleans)
• Valentin St. Cyr by David Fulmer (Storyville, turn of the century)
• Cliff St. James by Ed Kovacs (New Orleans)

List compiled by O'Neil de Noux and Kevin Burton Smith. O'Neil is the author of the Lucien Caye private eye stories set in -- where else? -- New Orleans.
