- Synopsis
- Denise Lemoyne is an Uptown New Orleans girl--a well-born aristocrat whether she likes it or not. Unwilling to sit life out on the sidelines, lunching with the other society women, she's engaged to Wes Colvin, a backwoods boy turned hotshot reporter. When that's not enough to give her life some grit, working as an assistant D.A. in her beloved, crime-ridden hometown gives her plenty. For Denise, though, there are crimes and then there are crimes. It's one thing to defuse a tense hostage situation at a grocery store, when a lowlife mobster's got a gun pointed at a defenseless stockgirl. It's another to show up for brunch at your godmother's and find her still in bed--a bullet through the bodice of her white silk nightgown. Madeline St. Juste was like a mother to Denise, and she's determined to nail the killer--until the evidence starts piling up against Madeline's husband, René. Now Denise has to ask herself some hard questions. Could handsome, kind René St. Juste--a man she's known and loved all her life--be a murderer? And if he were, could Denise prosecute him?
