Publisher's Synopsis
New Orleans private investigator Solomon Peters finds a mysterious envelope when he arrives at his French Quarter office on the Friday before Labor Day. Inside are a handwritten note and five one-hundred-dollar bills, offered as a retainer for simply agreeing to talk with the sender later that afternoon--no strings attached. Solomon accepts the retainer and meets with the author of the note, an elderly gentleman named Robert Poirier. The tasking seems simple enough: deliver a letter to a designated individual at a location in the New Orleans French Market the next night. And the fee in return is a mouthwatering $25,000. Easy job. Easy money. What could possibly go wrong?
