Bourbon Street Beat

"From New Orleans' fabled French Quarter to the surrounding mist-shrouded bayous a pair of private investigators prowl their Bourbon Street Beat. To the haunting rhythms of local blues, mismatched detectives Rex Randolph and Cal Calhoun operate out of an office on Bourbon Street. Young, suave, Ivy League-educated lawyer Rex comes from an aristocratic Louisiana family. Cal, a former policeman from the bayou country, is more mature, more casual and decidedly more rumpled. But the odd couple of gumshoes solve offbeat crimes that stymie the New Orleans police." (WB)
