Attorney Lily Martin thought the distance between Los Angeles and small town Louisiana would help put her dark past to rest... but Lily couldn't be more wrong. One phone call is all it takes to bring her back to the steamy bayou town where she grew up... and to the three men who defined her life... for one of them is dead. Michel Dugas, beloved parish priest and Lily's closest friend has been brutally murdered, his body hanged upside down on a cross in an abandoned church. Determined to obtain justice for Michel, Lily is forced to confront her bitter ex-husband, Sheriff Hugh Lothiar, as well as the enigmatic Cajun bad-boy Gitan Boudreaux, Lily's first love, who's out on parole after eight years in prison for a crime Lily is convinced he did not commit. Now, on the banks of mysterious Bayou Des Cannes, amid the whispering shadows of Lily's home town, the demons she's been trying to outrun finally catch up with her, demanding their due--and all the while, someone is waiting to make sure the truth stays dead and buried. A former Doubleday Book Club Selection. Explicit sex, violence, and language.
