The bones said death was comin', and the bones never lied.
While on an early morning patrol in the swamps of Whiskey Bayou,
Louisiana wildlife agent Gentry Broussard spots a man leaving the home
of elderly Eva Savoie--a man who bears a startling resemblance to his
brother, whom Gentry thought he had killed during a drug raid three
years earlier. Shaken, the agent enters Eva's cabin and makes a bloody
discovery: the old woman has been brutally murdered.
With no jurisdiction over the case, he's forced to leave the
investigation to the local sheriff, until Eva's beautiful heir,
Celestine, receives a series of gruesome threats. As Gentry's
involvement deepens and more victims turn up, can he untangle the
secrets behind Eva's murder and protect Celestine from the same fate? Or
will an old family curse finally have its way?
From award-winning author Susannah Sandlin comes the first book in the
Wilds of the Bayou series.
