From Publishers Weekly
In 1976, two witnesses slated to testify in the trial of New Orleans drug kingpin David Sylvester were murdered in a motel in the Crescent City. The slayings were noteworthy because both victims were in a protected federal witness program. Chief detective of the murder investigation, Dillman (Unholy Matrimony) here presents a searching look at the seamy side of life in the French Quarterdrug addicts, male and female prostitutesin showing how Sylvester, who ordered the killings, was implicated by dedicated police work. Although the trial that convicted him was a comparatively brief one, Dillman devotes an overly large portion of the book to what went on in the courtroom, and his characterization of the defense attorney as brilliant is not borne out by the case as related here.

From Library Journal
Former New Orleans dectective Dillman, author of Unholy Matrimony ( LJ 11/1/86), recounts his investigation of the murders of two witnesses just hours before they were to testify against a notorious drug dealer in 1976. Despite the subtitle, the witnesses were not under official protection, although they should have been. The case was solved diligently in three days, so there was little mystery and not really enough material to make a book. Dillmann pads it with anecdotes and trial testimony. While it will appeal to police procedural buffs, there is nothing special about the writing or the case to interest a larger audience. Gregor A. Preston, Univ. of California Lib., Davis
