New Orleans has been beaten up by the storm and now that it has been impacted, there’s a lot going on. The case would be searching for a citizen that has become lost in the chaotic mazes of Katrina. That’s because she has overheard that someone thinks that she’s the best private eye in her field and wants to take her services on. Summoned quickly to the city of New Orleans is now her gig. The detective is now being called to a distant city. The same book that she found in her teen years has become something of a Bible to her. In that time, the art of being a detective is basically her religion. Even though she’s gripping it with both of her hands, it seems that destiny does not always have an easy road in store for certain people. Now she has taken hold of a destiny tightly, clinging onto it as tightly as she can. The book Detection happened to come across her path at just the right time in her life and just like that, her course was forever altered. There’s no other real way to explain the reason why she stumbled upon a book as a teen that would change her life (other than mere coincidence, of course). Fate has picked her out and wants her to fill those gum shoes of being a detective– or is that just how it appears? Meet Claire DeWitt, a private eye and a young woman that seems destined to take the job on.
