The Frank Renzi series by Susan Fleet follows a New Orleans homicide detective through eleven novels published between 2008 and 2022. Starting with Absolution and running through titles like Diva, Jackpot, Sniper, and Guilty, the series puts Renzi up against a wide range of criminal cases while using New Orleans as more than just a setting.
Fleet gives each book its own distinct crime to solve while maintaining continuity in Renzi’s personal life and professional relationships. The series has a strong sense of place, with the music, food, and culture of New Orleans woven into the stories. Later entries like Payback and Foulshot show Renzi as a veteran detective whose experience informs how he approaches each new case.
