Love and Loss in the Crescent City

All Alexandra Lee wants is to experience the bright lights and late nights of New Orleans when she leaves her small-town Indiana corn farm to escape the pain of her deceased mother and dying father. Parlaying her passion for journalism into a successful public relations career, Alexandra uncovers the shocking truth about her mother’s death that not only puts her at odds with her work, but also drags her squarely in the sights of ruthless killers willing to murder her and everyone she loves to keep their secrets hidden.

After the fight of a lifetime in The Devil Always Collects, Alexandra is living her dream, merging socially conscious public relations with investigative journalism to laud the good organizations and persecute the bad within New Orleans. Lockstep with her dashing man, Tom, the two enjoy the cultural riches of Creole country, successful in their careers and free from typical family obligations.

Surrounded by peace and love after battling the soldiers of corporate, criminal and social injustice, Alexandra’s burgeoning organic food business is bringing hope to New Orleans’ poor. Together with her fiancé Tom and adopted daughter Piper, she now seeks to unmask the escaped Quarter Killer, the serial murderer that has plagued her city since the dawn of The Crescent City Murders series. As the breadcrumbs slowly begin to unravel the mystery, the bodies drop furiously around Alexandra, hitting her too close to home.
