In the latest Robicheaux novel, Clete Purcel - veteran, private investigator, and former New Orleans cop - takes centre stage for the first time, bringing an exciting new perspective to an iconic series. When Clete's car is ransacked by thugs tied to the drug trade, it feels personal - his grandniece died of a fentanyl overdose - and Clete hunts down this criminal enterprise. Meanwhile Clara Bow, a woman with a dark past, hires Clete to investigate her ex-husband, and a string of brutal deaths all link back to a heavily tattooed man who lurks around every corner. Clete experiences disturbing hallucinations after hearing rumors of a dangerous substance with catastrophic effects. The thugs who destroyed his car maybe pawns in a scheme far darker than he and Dave Robicheaux could've imagined...
