Book description
'Tis the season to be wary... Christmas is coming and all is far from
calm in Pointe Judah, Louisiana. Newcomer Christian DeAngelo--Angel to
his friends--is at his wit's end trying to manage Sonny, the hotheaded
nineteen-year-old everyone believes is his nephew. In fact, Sonny is the
orphaned son of a notorious mob boss, a protected witness...and Angel's
responsibility. Angel has been commiserating with Eileen Moggeridge,
whose lonely son Aaron has latched on to Sonny and gotten into deeper
trouble than ever. But nothing could prepare Angel and Eileen for the
boys' latest crisis: as they are horsing around in the swamp one
afternoon, a shot rings out. Aaron is hit, but was the bullet meant for
Sonny? Suddenly, goodwill toward men is in short supply and Angel
doesn't know who's more dangerous: the hoodoo mystic with an eerie hold
over the boys, the hit man roaming the bayou or Eileen's volatile
ex-husband, Chuck. 'Tis the season to be wary... Christmas is coming
