A short story featuring NOPD Detective Jodie Kintyre (former partner of NOPD's Homicide Detective Dino LaStanza)
Less than a month after Hurricane Katrina devastated New Orleans, a bigger bitch of a storm - Hurricane Rita slams into Louisiana just west of the city. Some of the levees are breaking again. Streets are flooding. A young man jumps off a five-story hotel in the French Quarter with a suicide note in his pocket. Detective Jodie Kintyre reads the note which instructs her to go to an address on Dumaine Street where the jumper has left his girlfriend.
They met the day before Hurricane Katrina - Michael and Amanda - and fell in love. Huddled in an apartment with no electricity or running water they survived in their 'cave' with their 'K Love' - a love spawned by a killer hurricane. What went wrong? What drove Michael to kill her, then himself? If that's what happened.
