About the book
Detective Dave Robicheaux first came across Desmond Cormier on the streets of New Orleans. While Cormier had lofty ambitions of fame, Robicheaux already had his future mapped out.
Fast forward twenty-five years, and the tables have turned. Cormier is now a successful Hollywood director when Robicheaux pays him a visit.
It just goes to show that dreams can come true - but so can nightmares.
A young woman has been brutally murdered, with all signs pointing to Cormier as the culprit. Robicheaux finds it hard to believe that his old friend could be capable of such an atrocity, but Cormier's silence speaks volumes.
To make matters worse, old ghosts from Robicheaux's past start resurfacing, adding to the already tense situation.
