From award-winning author Susannah Sandlin comes the
first book in the Wilds of the Bayou series.
The bones said death was comin’, and the bones
never lied.
While on an early morning patrol in the swamps of Whiskey
Bayou, Louisiana wildlife agent Gentry Broussard spots a man
leaving the home of voodoo priestess Eva Savoie—a man
who bears a startling resemblance to his brother, whom
Gentry thought he had killed during a drug raid three years
earlier. Shaken, the agent enters Eva’s cabin and
makes a bloody discovery: the old woman has been brutally
murdered.
With no jurisdiction over the case, he’s forced to
leave the investigation to the local sheriff, until
Eva’s beautiful heir, Celestine, receives a series of
gruesome threats. As Gentry’s involvement deepens and
more victims turn up, can he untangle the secrets behind
Eva’s murder and protect Celestine from the same fate?
Or will an old family curse finally have its way?
The Unofficial Bio:
I am ridiculously nearsighted, have a weakness for reality
shows (anyone for a marathon of “Ice Road
Truckers?”) and am somewhat obsessive-compulsive.
Well, okay, my critique partner calls me “Rain
Man.” I like to color-code anything, am obsessed with
the search for the perfect daily planner, and love listening
to Canadian French folk music.
