Terror stalks the streets of Bayou Breaux, Louisiana. A suspected
murderer is free on a technicality, and the cop accused of planting
evidence against him is ordered off the case. But Detective Nick
Fourcade refuses to walk away. He's stepped over the line before. This
case threatens to push him over the edge.
He's not the only one. Deputy Annie Broussard found the woman's
mutilated body. She still hears the phantom echoes of dying screams. She
wants justice. But pursuing the investigation will mean forming an
alliance with a man she doesn't trust and making enemies of the men she
works with. It will mean being drawn into the confidence of a killer.
For Annie Broussard, finding justice will mean risking
everything--including her life.
The search for the truth has begun--one that will lead down a twisted
trail through the steamy bayous of Louisiana, and deep into the darkest
reaches of the human heart.
