Book excerpt: Like the works of James Lee Burke and John Berendt, this spellbinding novel by Walter McCloskey shows us the physical and psychological violence that lies just beneath the veneer of southern hospitality. Lawyer Harry Preston thought he knew New Orleans. As a boy he spent summers there, and now--after his wife's murder--he's come back to the city of his youth to grieve privately and raise his son. But when Harry falls for the fatally beautiful socialite Elizabeth Bennett, he descends into a world of scandal and corruption and decadence that had never been part of his New Orleans...until now.
