The characters in The Last Shadow are people I've known from a distance. Zell's talent allows readers to have access to the hidden dreams and terrors of their lives."---Maurice Carlos Ruffin, author of THE AMERICAN DAUGHTERS"Zell demonstrates a gallows humor and a fine ear for entertainment...like the best crime fiction, the story invests deeply in setting, and it succeeds by virtue of its author's palpable love for New Orleans and the people who live there."---LOS ANGELES REVIEW OF BOOKS on RUN BABY RUN"What really keeps us turning pages is Zell's authorial voice, his insights into human nature, and the dark sense of humor that comes out of observing city life."---THE NEW ORLEANS ADVOCATE on LAW & DESIRETHE LAST SHADOW is a New Orleans story of 3 people, 2 paths, and 1 book that guides the way.
