THE NAPOLEON CONNECTION OFFICIAL BLOG: The Frenchmen Hotel

The Frenchmen Hotel, located adjacent to New Orleans' French Quarter, is located on Frenchmen Street just down from the city's raw jazz clubs and just across Esplanade from where the French Quarter begins. Housed in a former boy's school during the 19th century, it features a private tropical courtyard complete with dipping pool and hot tub and a popular breakfast room off the lobby where guests are treated with fresh French pastries and steaming hot java mornings before they venture out to explore the city.

About the Novel

The Napoleon Connection is a Da-Vinci-Code-like mystery set in the French Quarter of present-day New Orleans. Hired by one of that city's more prominent citizens, young, accomplished art historian Michael Bennington must discover the whereabouts of a priceless artifact--believed to be a rare jewel--curiously missing from the city's famed Cabildo historical museum. Bennington dives into the assignment with an uncanny passion--his specialty is 19th century jewels--and ends up taking a virtual roller coaster ride through the city's fascinating historical past, uncovers both real and purported, if not positively bizarre, local legends, descends into the city's eclectic alternative undergrounds and even encounters a quasi-religious, sexually-provocative Roman Catholic cult. The first installment in 'The Jewel Trilogy,' The Napoleon Connection is an introduction into the entertaining exploits of the likable Bennington character.
