Les Fontenot ont été métayers de la famille Bertrand pendant plusieurs générations, mais Moleen, l'actuel propriétaire, veut les expulser. Alors que la plantation Bertrand est déjà envahie par les bulldozers, la vieille Bertie Fontenot soutient qu'elle possède un titre de propriété sur ces terres où, selon la légende, Jacques Lafitte aurait enterré de l'or. Au même moment, Sonny Boy Marsallus, un chien fou dont les exploits au Salvador et au Guatemala lui ont valu une réputation de "survivant indestructible", confie à Dave Robicheaux son journal intime en lui demandant de le garder au cas ou il lui arriverait malheur. Or c'est Della, la petite amie de Marsallus, qui est victime de tueurs particulièrement barbares.
Dave mène l'enquête aux cotés de sa collègue Helen Soileau et de son vieux complice Clete Purcel, et plus il s'efforce d'atteindre la vérité, plus elle lui échappe et plus la menace se précise contre lui...
