New Orleans settings, gangland murder, police corruption, and international drug operations are the backdrop for J.C. Simmons' sixth serial mystery. Simmons' famed Aviation Consultant/Investigator, Jay Leicester, is drawn into a worldwide drug manufacturing operation when an old family friend's grandson is brutally murdered and nailed to a French Quarter street in New Orleans, Louisiana. What begins as a simple visit to pay respects at a funeral brings Leicester face to face with gruesome killings and evil people driven by power and money. This is not about famed New Orleans Queen Marie Leveau, or Voodoo, or gris-gris, or 'Wangas,' but the evil that lies within the hearts of man, an evil so vile that killing an infant means nothing. This is an intense and fast-paced thriller that is plot driven, character oriented, and a must read for any Mystery/Thriller aficionado.
