Dirty Phenix

Book one of the Carnal Knowledge series, Dirty Phenix: Birth of the Dixie Mafia, explains the connection between the mob in New Orleans and the Dixie Mafia. It also exposes the identity of one of Bourbon Street's most famous dancers and her relationship with a kid named Lee Harvey Oswald.
This book builds on the public domain writings of Birmingham newspaper correspondents Edwin Strickland and Gene Wortsman, leveraging their research to support information provided to journalist H. L. Arledge in interviews with former residents of Phenix City and entertainers working in Alabama, Florida, and Louisiana, among them: Stacey Lawrence, Kitty West, Doris Kotzan, Suzanne Robbins, Blaze Starr, Frieda LaBreche, and Evelyn West.
