New Orleans born.
Mystery bound.

Nearly forty years in insurance.
A lifetime of stories waiting to get out.

Charles Cruthirds earned his Bachelor of Science at the University of New Orleans. After a career in insurance, retirement gave him the chance to follow his passion for writing.

His home state runs through the J.C. Net novels: small Louisiana towns, the French Quarter, and the secrets people would rather leave alone.

AFTER THE LAST PAGE

Sleep can wait.

In the words of readers of
The Road to Darkness.

This is a great first book. Once I started reading I didn’t stop until I was finished. I had at least 3 suspects throughout the book could never quite figure it out until the end. Can’t wait for book 2.
