Retired Louisiana Bureau of Investigation Detective Dwayne Chevalier, faces the most challenging case he has ever encountered. Is it murder, redemption or a miracle?
Admiringly referred to as the black Sherlock Holmes, Chevalier is considered the most successful investigator in Louisiana history; but he is about to encounter a case that will require a miracle to solve.
Jason Raney, a young caucasion man, is missing. When his motorcycle helmet is found deep in the Louisiana bayou following a hurricane with four bullet holes in it, authorities assume he has been murdered. It's a fairly safe assumption. After all, he has a history of violence himself. Bad choices, drug addiction and a racist philosophy have dominated his short twenty-three year life.
Jason's attacker likes to kill.
Eighty year-old river dweller Etta Mouton, a woman of color, has lived alone in the bayou for fifty-five years, secluded from the outside world; having taken refuge there after her father and brother were killed by four white men in New Orleans. It isn't often one finds a young white man near her home, shot six times, and left for dead.
Mark Bachelor is a Louisiana Wildlife Biologist who is in charge of the hurricane clean-up in Bayou LaBachen.
