In this second of the New Orleans Mystery novels, NOPD Captain of Homicide “Rat” Trapp reencounters Camille Bynum, an old love Rat grew up with in the god-forsaken Desire project. Camille left Desire for Los Angeles twenty years ago but returns to New Orleans with her rock star son Danny, who comes to town for a performance at the Superdome. When Danny collapses on stage, Rat has to decide if Danny accidentally overdosed or is a murder victim. His friends, reporter Wes Colvin and assistant DA Denise Lemoyne, offer Rat backup as his investigation leads to nonstop violent action against the vicious drug dealers who infest Desire project.

Wes Colvin, a New Orleans reporter, receives an anonymous phone call from a man who wants to tell him a story. But when Wes goes to meet his contact at a French Quarter bar, he finds the place a bloody shambles and all its inhabitants machine-gunned to death just moments before. With the help of his friend "Rat" Trapp, NOPD Captain of Homicide, Wes investigates the motive for the slaughter. Among the suspects is an Uptown beauty, Denise Lemoyne, the granddaughter of one of the victims: Auguste Lemoyne, a former Louisianian politician. If he can survive, Wes will uncover the story of a lifetime: the truth behind the assassination of former governor and senator Huey Long.
