The "Cadillac" Holland Mysteries are a compelling mix of mystery, political thriller, and travelogue of one of America's favorite destinations seen through the eyes of a detective as battered as the city he patrols. Detective Holland has come home as a retired Special Forces and Intelligence operative and brings those specialized skills to bear on investigations that all too often place him squarely at odds with NOPD and the FBI's own way of doing things. It's why the Chief of Detectives only assigns "Cadillac" cases which are as unique and challenging as the detective's way of seeking justice and not just answers.

Louisiana State Police Detective "Cadillac" Holland’s sense of justice tends to come with unintended consequences. NOPD’s Chief of Detectives wants to know who is trying to buy the new homes the Make It Right Foundation built in his favorite sous chef's neighborhood. The Lower Ninth Ward, which is still struggling to recover from being decimated by Hurricane Katrina, has apparently become the hottest place to build a house in New Orleans.

The ideas a trio of shady developers have about the troubled neighborhood’s future seem intent upon once again displacing the city’s poorest citizens. It’s an election year and condominium developers and the local king of gentrification have the favor of the local City Council member, and the entire City Council. It’s up to Detective Holland, despite his ‘talent’ for making a mess of things, to seek justice for something that may not even be a crime while he avoids stirring the city’s treacherous political waters.

About H. Max Hiller (New Orleans, Louisiana Author)

H. Max Hiller

My relationship with New Orleans began with a job cooking in a cafe on Bourbon Street at the age of seventeen. My foodservice resume now includes many of New Orleans’ iconic music and dining destinations. I no longer reside in New Orleans full time but I keep to the expat creed of “Be a New Orleanian wherever you are.”

A devoted reader of detective and crime novels, I have worked as a chef on a boat traveling the inland waterways since Hurricane Katrina and began thinking up stories about a detective living in post-Katrina New Orleans, which I now write in my spare time.

My life is divided between working on the water and preserving a Victorian-era home that I share with my wife and our rescue pets, which include a neurotic wolfhound/terrier mix and too many cats.
