Publisher's Synopsis
Abandoning his former career for the safe respectability of teaching, Lew Griffith now spends his time in an old house in the garden district - determined to keep his distance from the lowlife temptations of the New Orleans night. But an inescapable obligation to an old friend is drawing the tormented, black, ex P.I to danger like a moth to a flame. And there will be no turning back when his history comes calling and the dying begins again.
