Book description
?My missing person did not hunt, fish, or engage in any type of sport
that one would do in a Louisiana fishing village. And after a cursory
look at what was called Pointe Nueve, I doubted a decent antique could
be found to buy in the entire collection of rusty, metal-roofed
buildings. At least I knew not to expect to find a body there. The
alligators would have taken care of that weeks ago. OK, so I can be
wrong once in a while...?
Louisiana antique dealer Marc DeVarney, a well-respected businessman,
has suddenly gone missing, and J. Pletcher and Raina Lambert,
investigative consultants, are hired by his family to locate the
man--or his remains. Their quest sends them scurrying through the area
around New Orleans, from the wealthy mansions of the Garden District
to the swamps and bayous of small, nearby fishing villages. With the
aid of a unique cast of New Orleans characters, including a licensed
witch, a game warden, local ?royalty,? a brilliant attorney, flea
market vendors, and assorted street people, they must sort through a
myriad of deceptions to confront the twisted evil secrets of the past.
A marvelously evocative mystery thriller.
