Synopsis: Dave Robicheaux is back in a dangerous mystery that involves stolen money, gritty casinos, and a beautiful girl with connections to his past.When a nice young woman named Trish Klein blows into Louisiana, passing hundred-dollar bills in local casinos, detective Dave Robicheaux senses a storm bearing down on his new life of contentment. Twenty-five years ago, lost in a drunken haze in Florida, Robicheaux was too far gone to save his friend and fellow &’Nam vet Dallas Klein, murdered in cold blood for gambling debts. Now, the arrival of Dallas&’s daughter opens a door locked long ago, and extracting her motives points Robicheaux to the suicide of a local &“good girl&” pulled into a vortex of power, sex, and death. It&’s Robicheaux&’s most personally painful case—a roller coaster of passion, surprise, and regret—and it may be his deadliest.
