Another sprawling evocation of the tangled heritage of southern Louisiana by the best-selling and award-winning author. Dave Robicheaux and his best friend and former partner Clete Purcel are drawn into another violent confrontation with the corruption that is poisoning both the environment and the remnants of the free spirited Cajun culture of New Orleans and Iberia Parish.
Dave and Clete are getting older, tired and pessimistic about their chances of ever putting right the many wrongs in their past. Both are carrying damage from their wartime experiences in Vietnam and self-destructive urges that have played havoc with their lives and personal relationships ever since. Now Dave finds himself obsessed with the fate of a young woman with her own troubled past who has gone missing, while Clete confronts his guilt and fear over an illegitimate daughter whose horrific childhood has turned her into a hired killer.
