Description
"Forget about it, Wyatt. It's the Big Easy."
Step into the sultry streets of New Orleans and immerse yourself in a world of voodoo, mystery, and murder in this gripping crime thriller. N.O.P.D. homicide detective Tony Nicosia faces the greatest challenge of his career: a sadistic serial killer who delights in ritualistic murders of his victims. With voodoo as the only link, Tony enlists the help of urban French Quarter private investigator Wyatt Thomas and voodoo mambo Mama Mulate to unravel the paranormal mystery and bring the killer to justice.
As Tony and Mama delve deeper into the world of voodoo, they uncover a shocking truth: the killer is none other than a former U.S. senator and a prominent member of New Orleans' high society. Is he a demon, psychic, shapeshifter, vampire, voodoo spirit, or all of the above? With the clock ticking and the stakes higher than ever, Tony must navigate the dark, treacherous waters of local politics and mob corruption to stop the ominous killer before it's too late.
Meanwhile, Wyatt and Mama are hired by a wealthy patron to locate his mother's grave, taking them on a perilous journey through the city's underbelly. Wyatt's client's attractive daughter, Celeste, captivates him, further complicating things. Will Wyatt and Celeste find romance -- and maybe love? As the tension mounts to a heart-stopping climax, Wyatt finds himself in the crosshairs of two N.O.P.D. officers determined to take down the voodoo killer, even if it means sacrificing innocent lives.
Will Wyatt survive? Can Tony and his team solve the case before the killer strikes again? Discover the answers in this riveting crime thriller set in the Big Easy.
