The Pieces of My Self

A hunt for treasure becomes a search for self. Lillian Fray, an adjunct professor at a community college, is asked to solve a puzzle involving a cryptogram and the link to a dead billionaire's sentient avatar. Her quest is fraught with racial politics and a hurricane tracking toward what used to be New Orleans. At stake is a sovereign fortune, the lives of her children, and the key to her identity.

"Pure noir. Your imagery puts me in smoky back-room deals on a black and white TV show in the late '50s. I was on that ship with Knightly and Zeke."
-Carolyn Holland, author of "Behind the Dark Veil."
