Now available for the first time in trade paperback, Lisa Jackson's
blockbuster New York Times and USA Today bestselling Southern Gothic
thriller featuring New Orleans detective Reuben Montoya in a race to
catch a serial killer on the loose in The Big Easy...
Thanks to years of working with the dark side of society, Detective
Reuben "Diego" Montoya's youthful swagger is gone, replaced by
straightforward determination. He'll need it, because a serial killer is
turning The Big Easy into his personal playground. The victims are
killed in pairs--no connection, no apparent motive, no real clues.
His only lead is Abby Chastain, ex-wife of one of the victims. Twenty
years ago, Abby watched in horror as her mother, a patient at the Our
Lady of Virtues Mental Hospital, plunged through a window to her
death--and Abby has always dreaded that she too would one day go insane.
Abby's honest fear gets to Montoya. His gut tells him she's innocent,
and that there's something significant about the once-grand hospital.
Abby can help unlock the mystery--if only Montoya can get her to trust
him enough to face the ghosts of her past.
As more bodies are found in gruesome, staged scenarios and the FBI moves
in, Montoya's in a desperate race to find a killer who's getting closer
all the time. Plunging deep into a nightmare investigation will uncover
a shocking revelation--a deadly connection between Abby and Montoya and
an asylum where unspeakable crimes were committed, evil once roamed
free, and a human predator still waits...
