When a prominent New Orleans judge is brutally murdered, former
Detroit cop Quentin Archer is handed the case. His enquiries will
lead him into a world of darkness and mysticism which underpins the
carefree atmosphere of the Big Easy. Interrogating crooked police
officers, a pickpocket, a bartender with underground contacts and a
swamp dweller, Archer uncovers some troubling facts about the late
judge's past. But it's only when he encounters a beautiful young
voodoo practitioner that he starts to make headway in the
investigation. Voodoo queen Solange Cordray volunteers at the
dementia centre where her mother lives. When she starts reading the
mind of one of her patients, she learns that a secretive
organization known as Krewe Charbonerrie may be behind the murder
of the judge. And the second murder. And the third . . .
Beneath the carefree atmosphere of Mardi Gras, something very
sinister is going on in the intriguing new Quentin Archer mystery.
Three murders so far. No apparent motive; no link between the
victims; none of them have been robbed. One item ties them
together: a can of spray gas known as Chill has been left at the
scene of each crime. Is someone killing for kicks? With no leads to
pursue and no witnesses coming forward, all the cops can do is wait
for murder number four. As rumours emerge, Archer realizes there's
a pattern taking shape. Could there be more to these seemingly
random killings than meets the eye? Teaming up with voodoo queen
Solange Cordray, Archer begins to uncover evidence of a shocking
conspiracy.
When a fellow cop is shot dead, homicide detective Quentin Archer
suspects that there's far more to this case than meets the eye. One
of Quentin Archer's fellow officers has been shot dead in broad
daylight, in his own squad car. A random cop killing... or
something more sinister? With no leads to go on, Archer turns to
voodoo queen Solange Cordray for help. But is he prepared to take
her advice? As Archer uncovers some surprising facts about the dead
man's past, there is another murder. With the simmering racial
tensions in the city threatening to escalate into outright
violence, Archer begins to suspect there's far more to Officer
Leroy's killing than he'd first supposed. Could it be part of a
carefully-orchestrated plan of revenge . . .?

Best friends James Lessor and Skip Moore are hardly on the fast
track. While James works as a line cook at Cap'n Crab, Skip spends
his days selling -- or rather, attempting to sell -- security
systems to people who (a) have no money, and (b) have nothing they
care to protect. James and Skip aren't upwardly mobile, but they're
about to get literally mobile when James spends a surprise
inheritance on a white box truck. An investment in the future, he
surmises, as these two are starting a business -- solely devoted to
hauling other people's stuff. But the fledgling business takes a
shocking turn when James and Skip unload the contents of their
first moving job and find some unexpected cargo -- a bloody human
finger. James and Skip must scramble to stay one step ahead of the
perpetrators of the gruesome crime in this witty, gritty mystery
about big dreams, big ideas -- and big trouble. Instead of chasing
the American dream, James and Skip will be running for their lives.
