INDEPENDENT PUBLISHER BOOK AWARDS GOLD MEDAL FOR BEST REGIONAL NONFICTION OF THE SOUTHDefending Hurricane Katrina's most notorious couple. In the media storm that followed Hurricane Katrina in 2005, nursing home owners Sal and Mabel Mangano were vilified for allegedly causing the deaths of 35 residents of St. Rita's Nursing Home in low-lying St. Bernard Parish. This book, written by the lawyer who defended them, reveals the gripping, true story behind the couple's heartrending decision not to evacuate and their persecution at the hands of the government sworn to protect them.

James A. Cobb, Jr., has practiced law since 1978 and was a managing partner in the firm Emmett, Cobb, Waits, & Henning. Cobb has also served as an adjunct professor at Tulane University Law School since the 1980s and has taught at Harvard since 2008. He lives and practices law privately in New Orleans.
