About this boxed set!
The Big Easy ain't always easy.
Crime solving is very much a family affair in The Big Uneasy series, where gruff patriarch, Zack Baker, and his “Baker’s Dozen”, protect and serve, tangling with lawbreakers, love, and each other in post-Katrina New Orleans.
"Jones’ writing style is unique: a strong dose of noir balanced with humor and witty dialogue…The New Orleans ambience conveyed is so realistically the reader will feel as if they have been plopped down right in the middle of the Big Easy." Midwest Book Review

When an aspiring illustrator attracts the attention of a New Orleans mob family, and secrets long hidden are unearthed from the past, a handsome homicide detective may be her only chance of surviving the Big Easy.
The oldest of thirteen, Alex Baker does two things: he solves murders and avoids children. Until the day Nell Whitby foils a carjacking, knocks Alex off his feet and turns his life upside down.
When the shots start flying and every rock he turns over reveals another wise guy, Alex decides he needs to stick close to the quirky yet captivating children’s book author while he discovers who is behind a series of mob hits. But can he resist the urge to kiss the kid magnet now in the crosshairs?
A relative newcomer to New Orleans—with no family but her college friend—Nell spends her days in seeming obscurity, sketching tourists in the French Quarter and serving canapés for her friend’s catering business. When a chance encounter makes Nell the target of a mob hit, the only silver lining is meeting the cute cop who is determined to protect her.
But when she finds herself at the head of a second line made up of goons and gangsters, and secrets start bubbling up out of her own past, Nell must figure out what she's made of so she can live long enough to kiss the cop again…
