That Old Black Magic is New York Times bestselling author
Mary Jane Clark's savory and suspenseful confection filled
with murder, mystery, history and voodoo, in which Piper
Donovan must unmask a devious killer striking in New
Orleans's legendary French Quarter.
Aspiring actress and
wedding-cake decorator Piper Donovan has barely arrived in
New Orleans to perfect her pastry skills at the renowned
French Quarter bakery, Boulangerie Bertrand, when a ghastly
murder rocks the magical city. Intrigued by the case, Piper
can't help but look for the "Hoodoo Killer"... among the faces
around her. Could it be the handsome guide eager to give her
special private tours? Or the inscrutable jazz musician who
plays on historic Royal Street? What about the
ratings-starved radio talk-show host? Or even the amiable
owner of the local Gris-Gris Bar?
Though Piper has a full
plate decorating cakes for upcoming wedding celebrations,
she's also landed an exciting but unnerving role in a movie
being shot in the Big Easy. When the murderer strikes again,
leaving macabre clues, she thinks she can unmask the killer.
But Piper will have to conjure up some old black magic of
her own if she hopes to live long enough to reveal the truth.
