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.

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.
