✦ Synopsis

When Jack Edney is assaulted and hospitalized in Priouxville on the banks of Ghost Bayou near Bayou Teche in Louisiana, Tony Boudreaux foregoes his long anticipated vacation to aid his best friend. He is surprised to learn that Jack’s unknown assailants were searching for hidden diamonds, but the jewels turned out to be the least of his worries.

In his efforts to uncover who attacked Jack, he stumbles onto three murders the locals attributed to the mythical Loup Garou, a shape-changing creature roaming the swamps. The deeper he pries into the mystery of the diamonds, the more he becomes a target himself.

His hunt for the stolen gems and those responsible for Jack’s assault takes him into the chilling eighteenth century culture of backwater swamps, the unholy mysteries of New Orleans, and the furtive backroom schemes of local politics.
