First Time in Paperback
SummaryThe First Mistake
Dead: an ordinary man in a pressed suit and tie. Just the
latest in a string of losers in the wrong place at the most
disastrous time. Not the kind of case to yank New Orleans
homicide detective Guy Gautreaux away from his leave of
absence in Toussaint, Louisiana, the only home to offer him
a sense of purpose after a tragedy that nearly destroyed his
life.
The Second Mistake
But there's someone in Toussaint Guy will do
anything—even open up a dead cold case—to shelter.
Jilly Gable is desperate to find the love of the family who
abandoned her as a child. And when the wife of a powerful
New Orleans antiques dealer and loan shark—and twisted
degenerate—sweeps into town claiming to be her mother,
Jilly is all too willing to love and forget.
The Final Reckoning
Slowly and methodically, an evil envelops Jilly, and Guy
must bare the truth to snatch her back from the edge.
Connecting the dots between the Big Easy and Toussaint all
but cinches his case, but Jilly and Guy are drawn deeper
into corruption, and they have only each other for protection.
Will that be enough?
