Shadows in the Water

It takes a killer to stop a killer. Retired DEA agent Robert King has a thriving PI business in New Orleans-and one promise to keep. He must help his niece, Louie, use her supernatural abilities to rid the world of monsters, without becoming a monster herself. But King plays by the rules of law and order, and Louie does not. So when Louie discovers a serial killer who is actively hunting a young woman, King knows he has only one chance to keep his promise to his dead wife. He must convince Louie to take the man alive and seek justice for the families he's already destroyed. Melandra Durand has worked hard for the life she has. As the owner of an occult shop in the French Quarter, her days were filled with palm readings and souvenir sales until an unorthodox PI moved in next door. It doesn't help that King employs a dangerous young woman who attracts dangerous company-jeopardizing both Mel's safety and sanity. Then Mel's husband is released from prison, and the real nightmare begins. More than one woman's life is on the line and the clock is ticking...

Sometimes revenge is the road to salvation. Louie Thorne understands this. When her parents were brutally shot dead in their home, Louie found the strength to go on only by armoring herself with the quest for vengeance. She found the criminals that took everything from her--and ended their lives--despite what it cost her. So when fellow huntress Diana Dennard crosses Louie's path, in pursuit of a dangerous pedophile, Louie refuses to interfere. She understands the need governing Diana's every move--even if the woman's methods toe the line of madness. As Lou is dragged into Diana's hunt, Diana's mask slips. The game turns dark. Suddenly the bad guys aren't Diana's only target and Lou finds herself between a dangerous and conniving psychopath and the ones she loves. Will Louie's dark power be enough to protect them? Or will the coldest heart win...

Konstantine, notorious leader of a Florentine gang, does what he can to assist Louie in her search-until he is asked to choose between his loyalty to her and the men who rely on him. As Louie investigates these two cases for answers and a connection, more women disappear. So the hunt for a new killer begins... This is the sixth book in the Shadows in the Water series.
