Synopsis

In the jazzy, sultry New Orleans tradition of James Lee Burke, Penn Williamson takes a grisly look at the depraved underbelly of a town where the oldest secrets are often the dirtiest. The year is 1927, and the Big Easy is abuzz at the gruesome death of Charles St. Claire. The evidence points to St. Claire's widow, glamorous movie actress Remy Lelourie. Handsome police detective Damon Rourke is as ready to believe her guilt as everyone else-even if she is his former lover. The only trouble is that Rourke has an obsession with finding the truth, and the truth in this case is tangled up in family ties that go back generations. Penn Williamson weaves an intricate mystery that sifts through the layers of lies in a place that buries its secrets far deeper than it buries its dead. Jack Garrett's powerful narration leads listeners through all the unusual twists and turns of the city that care forgot.

Goodreads review by Lisa on June 16, 2019

I have sat on rating or reviewing this book for a few days. It started off odd, confusing, and sometimes painfully slow. I normally read a book over a matter of days and this was months. I kept putting it down. Yet there was something there pulling me back so I persevered. It was a great story told......more

Goodreads review by Trish on June 06, 2017

OK, I LOVED this. I'm not sure why it took me so long to pick up Penelope Williamson's detective novels. This was lush and beautiful and gripping. More sex scenes than you would normally see in a detective novel (at least, the kind I've read), in keeping with Williamson's background as a romance nov......more
