Maverick journalist and Big Easy transplant Jack Prine discovers the body of a well-dressed black man with a bashed-in skull. Soon Jack is drawn into a web of violence threatening Elle Meridian, the victim’s beautiful, complicated sister. They begin a dangerous, desperate flight through Alabama, the Delta, and back to New Orleans, searching and evading goons, racists, voudou, and family secrets. Deadly ties extend to the Dixie Mafia, priceless stolen art, and debased Southern aristocracy. Read review from Southern Literary Review.
“…a triumph of Southern noir…Rod Davis is the new mayor of the mean streets.”
