A sniper appears in 1960s New Orleans, a sun-baked city of
Black Panthers and other separatists. Five people have been
fatally shot. When the sixth victim is killed, Lew Griffin
is standing beside her. He's black and she's white, and
though they are virtual strangers, it is left to Griffin to
avenge her death, or at least to try and make some sense of
it. His unlikely allies include a crusading black
journalist, a longtime supplier of mercenary arms and
troops, and bail bondsman Frankie DeNoux.
Yet it is the character of Lew Griffin that takes center
stage, as in each of Sallis's highly praised books. He is by
now, well on the way to becoming what he will be; violent,
kind, contradictory, alcoholic. Both naïve and wise, he is a
man cursed by unspeakable demons. Nonetheless, he is
seemingly encircled by redemptive angels, awaiting an opening.
