Thanks to years of working with the dark side of society. Detective Reuben "Diego" Montoya's youthful swagger is gone, replaced by straight forward determination. He'll need it, because a serial killer is turning the Big Easy into his personal playground. The victims are killed in pairs- no connection, no apparent motive, no real clues. His only lead is Abby Chastain, the ex-wife of one of one victims. Twenty years ago Abby watched in horror as her mother, apatient at a mental hospital plunged through a window to her death... and Abby always dreaded that she too would one day go insane. Something about Abby- her spirit and her honest fear- gets to Montoya. His gut tells him his prime suspect is innicent, just like it's telling him there's something significant about the once grand hospital now decaying in a gloomy thicket of ancient live oaks. Abby Chastain can help unlock the mystery- if only Montoya cna get her to trust him enough to face the ghosts of her past.
