Hero and villain Jean Laffite deserves, and gets, renewed attention, and the authors revealed the last hidden decades of his complicated life.

A fascinating read!" -Myrick Howard, President, Preservation North Carolina "Reading like the best detective fiction and historical romance rolled into one, Jean Laffite Revealed is a lazy front-porch visit with old friends who have tales to tell. In an engagingly casual style, this mother-daughter team of history sleuths presents an impeccably researched, persuasive argument upending centuries-old legends and rewriting the history of one of America's most intriguingly elusive characters." -Damon Lee Fowler, Savannah Morning News
