Detective Quentin Archer uncovers a drug ring within the Detroit Police Department. When he threatens to expose the rogue cops, his wife becomes the victim of a hit and run incident. Archer leaves town and joins the New Orleans homicide department. He finds corruption in that city as well. Solange Cordray, whose mother was a voodoo queen, has become a practitioner, taking after the elderly lady who now has severe dementia. Solange approaches Quentin and, through spells and supernatural experiences that he doesn’t quite believe, she helps solve crimes involving crooked judges, human trafficking, and gang violence.
Set in the Murder Capital of the World, the Quentin Archer series brings the culture and ambiance of New Orleans to life, from the hustle and bustle of the French Quarter to the palpable anxiety that exists inside the New Orleans Police Department. The mystique of voodoo to solve murders creates a suspenseful backdrop in this vibrant city of eclectic cuisine and colorful characters.
