Feisty reporter Corlis McCullough isn’t afraid to push
boundaries in the name of journalistic integrity. When
passion for the truth lands her in New Orleans in need of a
job, an assignment at a TV station pits her against her old
college nemesis, King Duvallon.
The sultry streets of the French Quarter, the glamorous
Garden District, derelict riverfront cotton warehouses, and
gritty back alleys come alive as the reporter’s story
inexplicably slips between the nineteenth century and today.
A long-forgotten drama of blackmail, swindles, and a love
affair that is still changing lives leaves Corlis and King
wondering if their burgeoning, unholy attraction will render
them pawns in a matrix of mystery and deceit.
