The JFK part is the best part of the book, imo. He says everyone in the underworld knew Oswald and draws a clear connection bt Oswald and Marcello. Claims to have seen them together numerous times. Ties in that freak David Ferrie and Shaw as well.
The New Orleans Lawyer seems like the real gatekeeper though. I’m am convinced he knows or knew everything.
I tried googling the other two names he says played a significant role in the plot, Mike and Bill McClainie or McClainy (spelling?) but I can’t find anything on those two names connected with New Orleans, casinos, bay of pigs, Irish mobsters, anything.
I was able to find one of the alleged shooters, Tex, and the info checks out, at least the background stuff.

Whether this book is true or not, it is an interesting read. It is a totally based in NOLA book that makes some wild assumptions about the JFK assassination.

“Dr. Mary’s Monkey” is written in an overlapping timeframe with “Mr. New Orleans”, with some of the same characters; but it is a completely different type of book. It is really about research, centered in New Orleans, about killing Castro by somehow causing him to get cancer.
While not about JFK’s murder, it sheds a great deal of circumstantial light on it, showing that many of the players knew each other quite well. It is well researched and a very interesting read.

I read the book and believe what he says, recounts. He mentioned he had his own private/reserved/designated "parking place" ON Bourbon St (parallel parked) with a "covered type canopy"! The police "protected" it for him only.
Normally, you'd say - that's BS!?! Your own reserved parking place ON BOURBON ST that was Covered!?!
Well, I lived in the French Quarter on St Phillip St, long before the book was released, but during the same time/era Frenchy mentioned having his own police protected parking spot it in his book. I distinctly remember seeing a permanent "car port type canopy" that sat above the same parking spot on Bourbon St while I lived in the quarter.
And I remember thinking @ the time......well that's odd!?! I did'nt really dwell on it much at the time, but I do remember seeing that "spot" numerous times, as that "canopy covered spot" definitely stood out! It was NOT a "paid for, off street, private spot".....just a regular parallel "public" parking spot like any/all others in the quarter, of which there were not many, and were fiercely competed/contested for by residents living in the quarter!
Living in the quarter, you are very aware/alert regarding all things related to parking! And you become an Expert @ parallel parking!! Very tight, cramped spots on one-way, narrow streets with impatient cars/drivers waiting, rushing, honking & intimidating you while you're trying to back (squeeze) into/parallel parking spots that are scarce & very much in demand! ie: What these New Orleans locals, FQ residents are really doing is TRYING to un-nerve/pressure you (or many times tourists) into "giving up" & fleeing so THEY can then grab the spot! As I said, you get REAL GOOD & REAL FAST @ parallel parking in the Quarter!!
So when I did read Frenchy's book "Mr New Orleans" much latter.....it all came back to me, and I easily & suddenly remembered "that same/covered parking spot" on Bourbon St!
There are quite a few other things that he mentioned that I already knew as a fact from growing up, living in La.; others I verified, and some I figured out by putting 2+2. Carlos M was VERY powerful and the Mafia was/were a simple FACT + "way of life & biz" in La. Many if not most of what he said, mentioned in the book occurred & were common!
