A rash of murders has unemployed sleuth Dave Robicheaux rejoining the New Orleans sheriff's department where he searches for a serial killer while investigating a clue to the disappearance of a young prostitute years earlier, trying to stay clear of the mob, and becoming romantically involved with an unconventional nun.

Detective Dave Robicheaux is facing the most painful and dangerous case of his career. A troubled young woman breezes into his hometown of New Iberia, Louisiana. She happens to be the daughter of Robicheaux's onetime best friend--a friend he witnessed gunned down in a bank robbery, a tragedy that forever changed Robicheaux's life. The twists begin when Trish Klein--the only offspring of Robicheaux's Vietnam-era buddy--starts passing marked hundred-dollar bills in local casinos. Is she a good kid gone bad? A victim's child seeking revenge? A promiscuous beauty seducing everyone good within her grasp? And how does her behavior relate to the apparent suicide of another "good" girl, an ace student named Yvonne Darbonne, who apparently participated in a college frat orgy before her death?--From publisher description.

Detective Dave Robicheaux returns in another adventure--only this time, he travels from New Iberia Parish to the wilds of Montana to solve the mysterious murder of a University of Montana coed and her boyfriend.

Dave Robicheaux, a police officer in New Iberia, Louisiana, is forced to confront his past when he returns to New Orleans to investigate a brutal attack on his old friend, Father Jimmie Dolan, a controversial Catholic priest, while back at home three teenage girls are killed in a drunk driving accident, sparking a violent retaliation.
