Mario DeLuca and Howard Blitz, two detectives from the Eighth District in New Orleans, are known for their unorthodox methods. In this fourth installment of the True Blue Detective series, our trusty duo is back at it again as they throw traditional crime-solving techniques out the window in pursuit of justice on the streets. Five Star Reviews says it all: "Street Justice. The way it was done in the old days." The two officers find themselves caught up in a dangerous situation involving a cartel demanding twelve million dollars and threatening Mario's life if their demands aren't met. Meanwhile, an innocent bystander becomes entangled in the chaos when they are mistaken for someone else, making them a target for the cartel's wrath. Using their expertise and experience, these detectives take on the challenge of uncovering the truth behind these puzzling crimes and delivering "street justice" to those responsible. This includes helping victims such as Mario's friend Olivia and an old acquaintance Zack Nelson, who have both been targeted by unknown perpetrators draining their bank accounts.
