FIRE CAN BE DEADLY - IN THE WRONG HANDS

That's what private investigator Jeri Howard learns when her New Orleans vacation turns into a case.

A phone call from her friend Davina sets events in motion. Davina's sister Laurette, already in a bad place after the loss of husband and child, has a new boyfriend. He's a mercurial musician who calls himself Slade. Her family doesn't like him. As it turns out, they have good reason.

Now Laurette and Slade have disappeared. The family is frantic with worry. With the help of Big Easy PI Antoine Lasalle, Jeri goes looking for clues. What she finds is disturbing.

Slade has a history of getting even - and setting fires. It's a lethal combination.

Jeri's determined search leads her from French Quarter hotels and restaurants to the clubs on Frenchmen Street, from "back of town" Treme to the industrial blocks along the muddy Mississippi.

Finally, Jeri heads back to California - and an explosive conclusion.

"TAUT AND ABSORBING," SAYS PUBLISHERS WEEKLY.
