Dave Robicheaux is back in a dangerous mystery that involves stolen
money, gritty casinos, and a beautiful girl with connections to his
past.
When a nice young woman named Trish Klein blows into Louisiana, passing
hundred-dollar bills in local casinos, detective Dave Robicheaux senses
a storm bearing down on his new life of contentment... Twenty-five years
ago, lost in a drunken haze in Florida, Robicheaux was too far gone to
save his friend and fellow 'Nam vet Dallas Klein, murdered in cold blood
for gambling debts. Now, the arrival of Dallas's daughter opens a door
locked long ago, and extracting her motives points Robicheaux to the
suicide of a local "good girl" pulled into a vortex of power, sex, and
death. It's Robicheaux's most personally painful case--a roller coaster
of passion, surprise, and regret--and it may be his deadliest.
