Nature isn't the only lethal force to strike New Orleans in 1965.

In the tumultuous aftermath of Hurricane Betsy, a quieter disaster is unfolding in the city's darkened streets: two powerful crime organizations are locked in a deadly alliance, and notable figures across New Orleans are dying. To the local authorities, the killings seem random-until a pair of unlikely allies emerges to uncover the truth.

Rob Chambers, a former lawyer turned government witness, thinks he's left his involvement with criminal enterprises behind. But what's happening in the Crescent City's shadows will have widespread repercussions if the criminal alliance eliminates its enemies and wins the contract to rebuild the city's levees. Rob is pulled out of witness protection by senior FBI agent Tom Neal to help discover who's behind the bloodshed and secure the city's future.

What begins as a covert investigation turns into a desperate race for survival through South Louisiana, populated by Cajun traditions, mysteries, and secrets as old as the swamps themselves. As the ruthless killers close in, Rob must learn to trust this world where nothing is as it seems. If he fails, an entire city will pay the price.

Industry Reviews

"Riveting! The Memory Trap is a gripping, suspense thriller that possesses elements of literary romance. A masterful storyteller, Joppie spins a unique tale of intrigue, involving a young lawyer, Rob Chambers, whose remarkable photographic memory lands him in dangerous waters with a vile drug-cartel organization and the FBI. Brace yourself, the shocking twists and turns will hold you captive."

-Sherry Maysonave, award-winning author of The Girl Who Could Read Hearts and Tatae's Promise

"Joppie's The Memory Trap is a thriller, with lawyers and drug dealers and blackmail, but what a thriller! Better written and less fantastical than the usual trite genre fare-though our hero, Rob, is a champion swimmer with a photographic memory-it takes the reader on a compelling ride that starts in Texas, ends in Texas and visits lots of other places in between. The characters are well developed; the plot and subplots are tight. Stuff happens; twists happen, suspense and danger happen in spades, all weaving an engaging story for genre and literary readers alike."

-William H. Reid, best selling author of A Dark Night in Aurora
