Flood of Lies

Defending 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.
