Occupied New Orleans, 1863: When a beloved elderly doctor is killed by a silver-tipped crossbow bolt while visiting his wife’s tomb, Federal provost marshal Zach Cooper is assigned to investigate. A career cavalry officer reluctantly sidelined by a battle wound, Zach soon finds himself dangerously attracted to one of the main suspects in the murder: the beautiful, mysterious young French widow Emmanuelle de Beauvais.
As Zach’s investigation takes him from the crumbling mansions of New Orleans’s impoverished aristocracy to the slave gatherings of Congo Square and a Voodoo practitioner hidden deep in the treacherous swamps beyond the city, he finds himself increasingly torn between duty and a blinding, all-consuming passion. And as one brutal murder follows another, Zach must race to unmask a vicious killer who may—or may not—be the woman he has come to love.
