When Thea Tamborella returns to New Orleans after a ten-year
absence, she finds a city gripped by fear. The privileged white
socialites of her private-school days pack guns to fancy dinner
parties and spend their free time in paramilitary patrols. The
black gardeners, maids, and cooks who work days in the mansions of
the elite Garden District return each evening to housing projects
wracked by poverty, drugs, and gang violence. The city's haves and
have-nots glare at each other across a yawning racial divide as
fear turns to hate and an us-against-them mentality.
