Dave Robicheaux is definitely back in a dangerous mystery that involves stolen money, gritty casinos, and a lovely young lady with connections to his past.

When a nice young female named Trish Klein blows into Louisiana, passing hundred-dollar bills in local casinos, detective Dave Robicheaux senses a storm bearing down about his new lease of life of contentment… Twenty-five years back, 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 bloodstream for gambling bills. Now, the introduction of Dallas’s daughter starts a door locked way back when, and extracting her motives points Robicheaux towards the suicide of a local “good young lady” pulled right into a vortex of power, sex, and loss of life. It’s Robicheaux’s most personally painful case-a roller coaster of passion, shock, and regret-and it might be his deadliest.
