Publisher's Synopsis
Noel Galliano has always wanted her own business, so despite critics -- mainly her own family members -- who believe she won't succeed, she opens a tiny voodoo shops in New Orleans' famous French Quarter. What she doesn't count on is finding a dismembered corpse in the apartment upstairs. Finding a dead body so close to home terrifies her, and she doesn't know where to turn. Her sister certainly won't help you.
Detective Mathieu Bergeron, who has been a loner all of his life, has finally made a name for himself in the department by putting away the Bayou Ripper. Then Noel finds the mutilated corpse above her voodoo shop and throws Matt's competence as an investigator into question. Even cops he thought were his friends turn their backs on him. Yet despite all of the adversity, Matt joins forces with Noel, and together they solve this terrifying crime.
