Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:


Councilwoman Bebe Fortier has misplaced her equally prominent husband. Across town, part-time detective-poet Talba Wallis has a simple wish--to find out what Russell Fortier's disappearance has to do with her. But the private investigator who hired Talba to spy on Fortier can't help her out. He's lying in his office with a bullet in his chest. At first, Police Detective Skip Langdon thinks it's just a small case with some big names--until she senses something huge starting to unfold. Something rooted in corruption, resulting in violence--and motivated by that old demon . . . desire.

Review:


"Compelling . . . A terrific read."
--Los Angeles Times

"WITTY AND CHARMING."
--San Francisco Examiner

"PLENTY OF PLOT TWISTS . . . The New Orleans atmosphere and Talba, with her fierce wise poetry, shine. . . . Richly realized and memorable."
--Publishers Weekly

"LANGDON IS A SPLENDID HEROINE."
--People
