About the Book
New Orleans, 1699. Beauregarde du Spoiler--an obnoxious, violent, alcoholic aristocrat--is exiled from France and given one last shot to make good. If he screws up any more, he's gonna get booted from the family and--more importantly--all its wealth. So, it's six months after the move to the New World. How's he holding up? Well, his best friend is a bomb-throwing anarchist attempting to overthrow the colonial authority, his girlfriend is an escaped slave who's twice as smart as he is, his bar tab down at the Rusty Bone Saw is fast eclipsing the national debt of France, the woman he's been arranged to marry has *really* hairy arms, and, worst of all, it is looking increasingly more likely he will have to--gasp--get a job.
