About

Nothing is what it seems in New Orleans, but this murder was one for the books... two books to be exact; a missing set of William Blake rarities - and street-smart detective Neal Rafferty has been hired to find them. Instead, what he finds is the body of a rare book dealer and a growing list of females - each with a pretty good reason to do him in. There's his all too ready to confess wife, his unhappy, illegitimate daughter, and the beautiful, sensual Catherine - a woman who's a lot easier to love than she is to believe. What does a tough private eye do when he finds himself falling for the prime suspect in a murder case? The answers, and the truth, may be hiding in the steamy streets and sleazy bars of New Orleans, and Rafferty's got to choose the right one... choose between a truth he can live with and one he could end up dying for.
