✦ Synopsis
They�re the new Odd Couple of mystery fiction--she�s Queen Latifah and he�s Danny DeVito. Or they would be if this were a movie--in print, they�re Talba Wallis and Eddie Valentino, the hottest detective duo in New Orleans. Talba�s got the beauty, the brains, the computer savvy, the poetic soul, the right demographic, and the sass. Eddie�s got the detective agency. Also a short fuse and yes, wisdom. Not only do they make it work, they�ve got chemistry! And they need every skill and ounce of courage they can summon in this intricate tale of a decades-old conspiracy only now coming home to roost, with the murder of Talba�s friend Babalu Maya. Babalu is actually Clayton Robineau, daughter of the local banker in a small Louisiana town that bears her name, a town buried under the weight of its own malevolent past. And something terrible happened to Clayton as a child, something almost anyone in town would kill to cover up.
