註釋New Orleans PI Neal Rafferty is out to avenge the murder of an old flame in this mystery from the national-bestselling author of The Last Madam.

A phone call at midnight. A cocktail lounge on New Orleans’s West Bank. A young woman who wants to photograph prostitutes and re-create Bellocq’s famous Storyville portraits. And murder. These are the threads that lead private eye Neal Rafferty into a labyrinth of danger in the Crescent City . . . where crime is always hot, spicy, and full-flavored with suspense. The phone call is from his old girlfriend Jackie Silva. 

A loan shark named Bubba Brevna is threatening to collect from Jackie the traditional way . . . with pain. He’s already moved into her establishment—the Emerald Lizard—with a bouncer called Godzilla, some call girls, and a set of muscular twins with one brain between them who are running “chicken drop” contests on the dance floor. 

What Rafferty can’t foresee is that, within days, the Emerald Lizard will be torched and Jackie Silva will be dead; soon, the young photographer will be missing. Rafferty begins a dark journey of guilt, grief, and revenge amid the stink of corruption that will send him into the deadly shadows of narrow streets and twisted hearts.
