The moment Emily Turner walks into Nick Grayson's office, a tale of deception and danger begins. The case seems straightforward: find her brother's killer. But as Nick delves into the criminal underbelly of New Orleans, he discovers that nothing is as it seems. Aided by his resourceful secretary, Lisa, and a couple of untrustworthy allies-sensational reporter Carl Morgan and police detective Bob Harris-Nick starts to piece together the evidence.

Who would want Daniel Turner dead? Could it be Mayor Raymond Fontaine, the corrupt city leader? Or Sal Moretti, the mafia boss conducting illicit business with Fontaine? Perhaps it's Colonel Victor Thornwood, Fontaine's seemingly virtuous political opponent, or the young, squeaky-clean third-party candidate Luke Mitchell?

Filled with twists and turns and a touch of the paranormal à la voodoo, this noir thriller, set in the heart of the French Quarter, offers plenty of surprises and a mystery that will keep you turning the pages.
